Owned and run by the Brunier family for more than a century, it consistently produces some of the finest red wines from this celebrated Southern Rhône appellation. Inscribed in every drop of the flagship Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape rouge is the story of the domaine`s terroir. the Mediterranean climate, the rugged, galet-strewn terrain and the elevation of the Crau plateau, where Vieux Télégraphe`s old-vine fruit gains its concentration, complexity and mineral freshness. Vinification for this wine is as follows. fermentation with partial whole bunches in temperature-controlled stainless steel and oak cuves; around 10 months` resting in cement tanks; then maturation for a further 12 months in oak foudres. \"One of the best vintages of the domaine – `If you were to pull out five since 1960, the 2016 would be among them,` says winemaker and owner Daniel Brunier. Very immediate and open with blueberry, violet and Griotte cherry. Full and lush in texture with a very fine tannic structure and lovely acidity too. The alcohol is present, but it`s balanced for Châteauneuf. Very harmonious, with great depth and will be fantastic when it`s ready.\" Decanter, 2020","brand":"Vieux Telegraphe","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62428808741194,"sku":"HED67200","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED67200.jpg?v=1781915884","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/chateauneuf-du-pape-vieux-telegraphe-2016","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
