Among the legendary names of Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine du Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe <\/strong>holds a privileged place. Since 1891, the Brunier family<\/strong> has upheld a winemaking tradition of rare precision. This iconic estate draws its identity from the La Crau plateau<\/strong>\u2014an emblematic terroir in the south of the appellation\u2014and from its unwavering commitment to producing wines of absolute integrity, reminiscent of the great classics of the Southern Rh\u00f4ne. <\/p>\n The Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe adventure began in the late 19th century when Hippolyte Brunier<\/strong> planted his first vines on La Crau. Today, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric and Daniel Brunier,<\/strong> the sixth generation of winemakers, continue the family legacy with the same discipline. Over time, the estate has become a symbol of authenticity, terroir loyalty, and uncompromising expression. <\/p>\n Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe<\/strong>\u2019s vineyards span more than 70 hectares, all located on the La Crau plateau<\/strong>\u2014one of Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape\u2019s most celebrated terroirs. This unique soil, made up of a thick layer of rounded pebbles <\/strong>atop red sandy clay, lends the wines a singular, almost saline minerality<\/strong>. The dry climate, constantly swept by the mistral wind, ensures optimal ripeness and impeccable health of the grapes. <\/p>\n The average vine age<\/strong> exceeds 60 years, with some parcels planted in the 1940s. These deeply rooted old vines produce exceptionally concentrated grapes, forming the backbone of wines built for long aging. <\/p>\n Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe\u2019s style<\/strong> is founded on a clear vision: expressing the terroir without artifice. Harvesting is manual<\/strong>, grapes are meticulously sorted, and fermentations occur naturally. The wines age for nearly two years in large oak foudres<\/strong>, with no new wood, in order to preserve the purity of the fruit and the wine\u2019s mineral backbone. <\/p>\n The result is a dense yet vertical<\/strong> wine with good acidity, firm tannins and a complex aromatic profile: ripe red fruit, garrigue, licorice, warm stone and floral touches. Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe rouge<\/strong> is renowned for its exceptional ageing potential. Vintages such as 1989<\/strong>, 1990<\/strong>, 2005<\/strong>, 2010<\/strong>, 2016<\/strong> and 2020<\/strong> are sought after by collectors worldwide. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#585858″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/thebestvintage.fr\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/TELEGRAP.jpg” alt=”Domaine Du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf Du Pape” title_text=”Domaine Du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf Du Pape” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A majestic and distinctive Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape<\/strong><\/p>\n This grand red wine is the flagship of Domaine du Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe.
