Vieux Télégraphe Chateauneuf du Pape red 2009

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2009 is now entering a magnificent stage of maturity. Sourced entirely from the celebrated La Crau lieu-dit in the southeastern part of the appellation and traditionally aged in foudre, it is a quintessential expression of both this remarkable terroir and the estate. Tasted in June 2025, Jeb Dunnuck awarded the wine 95 points, highlighting its exceptional complexity, purity and elegance. Spicy red fruit is joined by tapenade, menthol, pepper and Provençal garrigue in an aromatic profile that constantly evolves in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers ripe, polished tannins and impressive depth without any sensation of heaviness. With a stated drinking window through 2039, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a mature Châteauneuf-du-Pape that still has considerable life ahead.
