Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe is a renowned winery in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, with a history that dates back to 1898. The estate is named after an old telegraph station that once stood nearby. The Vieux Télégraphe is the Domaine’s flagship wine, made primarily from Grenache, with Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Cinsault playing supporting roles. The 2001 vintage was a very good year in the Southern Rhône, producing wines with excellent structure and balance. Expect notes of cherries, raspberries, and blackberries, complemented by notes of garrigue, black pepper, liquorice, and earthy undertones.
