Le Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2015 is a Grenache-dominant red wine from the Southern Rhône, presented in a magnum format. Sourced from the famous stony plateau of La Crau, this wine is a benchmark for the region, reflecting the unique cooling influence of the Mistral wind and the `galets roulés` soils. The 2015 vintage presents a complex tapestry of black cherries, balsamic, tobacco and dried lavender. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with the magnum format ensuring a slower development of its fine-grained tannins. A signature backbone of acidity keeps the sun-drenched fruit vibrant, leading into a long, savoury finish marked by iron and earth.
