DOMAINE DU VIEUX TELEGRAPHE Chateauneuf-du-Pape Telegramme 2019

Winemaker Notes: A Chteauneuf-du-Pape seriously dominated by Grenache, which confers very singular suppleness and roundness. Best savored young.

Press Reviews

94JAMES SUCKLING

Very ripe damson plum, but not a jot overripe on the finely nuanced nose. This powerful Chateauneuf has an excellent balance of generous, fine tannins and richness, the lively acidity lifting the long savory finish beautifully.

92JEB DUNNUCK

Bottled early in May, the 2019 Chteauneuf Du Pape Tlgramme offers a big, up-front, impressive style with classic red and blue fruits as well as licorice, peppery herbs, and crushed stone-like minerality. It has medium to full body, ripe, polished tannins, and a terrific level of class and elegance.

92ROBERT PARKER’S WINE ADVOCATE

Full-bodied, rich and highly textural, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Telegramme is atypically concentrated and dense, reflecting the addition of more old-vine Grenache to the cuve. Black cherries, salted licorice and dark chocolate all make appearances, and the wine finishes long and velvety.

91WINE SPECTATOR

Very fresh, with cherry puree and cassis notes that are silky in feel, laced gently with anise and savory notes. Stylish, smooth finish. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvdre and Cinsault.
