Description

Domaine du Vieux Telegraph is one of the better known names in Chateauneuf du Pape. The Brunier family has been producing wines in the Southern Rhone Valley for over 100 years. Vieux Telegraph was founded in 1898 by Hippolyte Brunier, the great, grand father of the current owner.

Over to HENRI's son DANIEL BRUNIER: “the 1978 wine was the last vintage vinified by my father Henri, since my brother Frédéric, a qualified oenologue, took over the vinifications in 1979 in our brand new winery. This was therefore the last vintage to be prepared in a very, very traditional way – after a light crush, it was fermented in large, closed barrel (foudre), with no open vats like today.

Filled with fresh cracked pepper, gariggue, kirsch, herbes, fennel and black raspberries with a melange of spice, this rich, full bodied, charmingly, rustic, spice filled wine ends with a long, fresh, powerful, pure, cherry liqueur finish. This fully mature Chateauneuf du Pape remains a sublime tasting experience for lovers of old Chateauneuf du Pape. Believe it or not, this has at least another decade of life to look forward to. This is best vintage of Vieux Telegraph I’ve ever tasted! It's almost impossible to fathom how young this wine was showing after more than 3 decades of aging.
