Understanding Vieux Telegraphe, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, La Crau Blanc, Rhone
This exquisite white blend is primarily composed of Clairette and Grenache Blanc, with smaller contributions from Roussanne and Bourboulenc. The grapes are carefully harvested from the estate's finest vineyards, known for their diverse soil composition, which imparts a distinct minerality and complexity to the wine. The winemaking process is a testament to the Brunier family's commitment to quality and tradition. Fermentation methods encourage the preservation of the fresh fruit characteristics. This is followed by ageing in a combination of differently-sized oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. This approach carefully balances the wine's freshness with a subtle, integrated oak influence. Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc features stone fruit, white florals and a hint of anise in a rich, silky, fresh palate. An impressive capacity for ageing allows it to develop a deeper complexity and nuance over the years.
