Merchant's description

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe is a family owned and operated estate and is one of the preeminent producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Though one of the largest landowners in the region, they only produce three red and two white wines, of which Télégramme is considered to be the second label red as it is made from younger vines not located on the Plateau of La Crau. Produced from vines that average 40 years of age, it is typically a blend of 80% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah, 6% Mourvedre and 4% Cinsault. This is an incredibly high quality and charming wine that offers brilliant value from a highly acclaimed producer.
