Introducing the Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Télégramme 2022, a vibrant and approachable expression of the renowned La Crau terroir. Crafted by one of the Rhône Valley's most esteemed estates, this wine captures the essence of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in a fresh and youthful style, perfect for both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring.

Tasting Notes:
The 2022 Télégramme delights with its bright aromas of red berries, cherries, and raspberries, layered with subtle hints of herbs, violets, and a touch of peppery spice. On the palate, it is lively and fruit-forward, with silky tannins, a medium-bodied structure, and a refreshing finish that lingers with notes of licorice and minerality.

Vineyard & Winemaking:
Sourced from younger vines on the iconic La Crau plateau, this wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, reflecting the classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape profile. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with the same care and precision as the estate's flagship wine, ensuring exceptional quality and character.

Pairing Suggestions:
Télégramme 2022 is incredibly food-friendly. Enjoy it with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, charcuterie, or lighter Mediterranean dishes. Its versatility also makes it an excellent choice for casual gatherings or weeknight dinners.

Aging Potential:
While designed to be enjoyed young, this wine can gracefully age for 5-8 years, allowing its vibrant fruit to mellow and develop additional complexity.

A Modern Classic:
As a more accessible offering from Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, Télégramme embodies the estate's commitment to quality and tradition while offering a modern, approachable take on Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"A blend of 85% Grenache and the rest of Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre, the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Télégramme offers up aromas of flowers, dark cherries and dark wild berries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, structured and concentrated palate with velvety tannins and a long, dense finish. More austere than previous vintages, this iteration stands out as a commendable rendition within the context of the vintage."
