Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2010 is a full-bodied, blended red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe is a name synonymous with fine, age-worthy Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which has owned and run by the Brunier family for more than a century. The flagship Vieux Télégraph Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée is typically a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre and 5% Cinsault plus other local grape varieties, all from vineyards aged 65 years or more. "The lightest in colour of the 2010 quartet, and a wine of outstanding aromatic complexity (bramble, strawberry, thyme, orange blossom, lavender and honey emerge with time in the glass). On the palate, it is the stoniest wine of the four, with the finest quality tannins. gathered, shapely, savoury, textured and long. A Châteauneuf which succeeds in being both commanding and refined, and a great Vieux Télégraphe." Decanter, 2016
