DOMAINE DU VIEUX TELEGRAPHE Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'La Crau' BLANC 2021 Bottle (40% Clairette, 25% Grenache, 25% Rouss)

Description

One cannot think of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the most celebrated cru of the southern Rhône, without thinking of Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe. The Brunier family is legendary in its own right, having been rooted to the enigmatic plateau known as "La Crau" for over 100 years. The wines of Vieux Télégraphe evoke the concept of terroir in its purest form: they reflect their dramatic climate, the rough terrain that defines the soil, their full sun exposure at a higher altitude, the typicity of the varietals, and the Brunier family influence.

This wine is is creamy and rich with a distinct oak character. The fresh bouquet is floral rather than fruity, with honeysuckle, acacia and a touch of zesty citrus. The palate focuses more on citrus and stone fruit, with flavours of lemon and grapefruit, crisp apple, honeyed quince and a touch of oak. Complex and balanced, with a creamily smooth mouthfeel.

Blend: 40% Clairette, 25% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussane, 10% Bourboulenc.
