Chateauneuf du Pape Vieux Telegraphe 2000

HED86144 75cl 14%
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe is one of the finest producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Despite being a large landholder in the region, they focus on crafting only three red and two white wines, with this being their unequivocal flagship. This traditional wine is typically composed of approximately 65% Grenache Noir, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Cinsault, and 10% Syrah sourced from 70-year-old vines in the lieu-dit of La Crau. The 2000 vintage presents a distinct olive tapenade aroma, accompanied by hints of orange peel, rosemary, and thyme, with a palate featuring blackcurrants.
- Medium red-ruby. Warm, inviting aromas of smoky red fruits, tobacco and black pepper. Bright and gripping on entry, then juicy and brisk in the middle, with slightly medicinal red fruit, mineral and tobacco flavors and somewhat clenched tannins. A restrained Chateauneuf that's currently hiding its flesh. But has a classic structure for aging.
