Description

Domaine du Vieux Telegraph is one of the better known names in Chateauneuf du Pape. The Brunier family has been producing wines at in the appellation for over 100 years. Vieux Telegraph was founded in 1898 by Hippolyte Brunier, the great, grand father of the current owners. They chose the name Vieux Telegraph from an aging signal tower built in 1792 by Claude Chappe. Chappe is the inventor of the optical telegraph, so it’s a very fitting name. The first vintage to be produced and bottled at Vieux Telegraph was the 1900.

Strawberry, kirsch and earth, rustic and peppery, full bodied and structured, this can be drunk now or held for potential further development.

94/100 points Wine Spectator
Textbook, with singed cedar and tobacco leaf, lavender and bay notes weaving through flavors of date nut bread, dried currant and mulled cherry fruit. All of this is harnessed by pebbly tannins that leave a juicy, mouthwatering feel on the finish. A domaine that hasn't missed a beat in quite some time. Drink now through 2021. (Web Only- 2012)

93/100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau is gorgeous, structured, impressive. Full-bodied and backward, with great depth, purity, and heady aromatics, this 20,000-case blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, and 15% miscellaneous amounts of the other permitted varietals will easily rival the 1998. A deep ruby/purple-tinged color is accompanied by a sweet perfume of salty sea breezes, seaweed, melted licorice, kirsch liqueur, creme de cassis, and iodine ... a classic Vieux-Telegraphe aromatic display. Powerful as well as firmly structured, this is a wine to lay away for 4-5 years. It should prove to be uncommonly long-lived, lasting a minimum of two decades. It gets my nod as the greatest Vieux-Telegraphe since the 1998.(2/ 2004)

This has just reached its second plenitude as Richard Geoffroy would say. Suddenly turned very tertiary, ferral, slight VA, some liquorish on the pallate. Really coming into it's own.

4/16/2014 - WINEMAKER LIKES THIS WINE:95 Points
Excellent! Best with food. Tastes rich and complex. Plenty of red fruits, garrigue, nice grip, balsam and sandalwood. Long finish.

4/12/2014 - MXPBUY LIKES THIS WINE:93 Points
Showing just a little age in the color with some early bricking. Bright and overripe strawberry and cherry notes with creame at mid palate and spice on the long finish. A real mouthfilling presence that was thoroughly enjoyable.

Opened up about an hour after decanting. Tastes of new leather and earth. Very lively and could go a while in the cellar but delicious now.
