Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe La Crau 2007
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceFrom the cellar. It's hard to think of Châteauneuf-du-Pape without conjuring up Vieux Télégraphe. And the Brunier family's La Crau vineyard is considered by many to be Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s grandest cru. This is grenache, syrah and mouvèdre from vines 20-60 years of age on galets. Sultry, supple leather, concentrated dried cherry, dried strawberry, dried tobacco is streaked with dried rosemary and a dusting of sage. The mouthfeel is palatable, with a weight of dried-sunripend fruit underpinned by a steady, fine stream of acidity. Tannins are sticky and granular, and the finish on this wine lingers for ages. If you have in your cellar, I recommend drinking now.Tasted: 03 April 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| US | $125.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
