Vieux Telegraphe isn't just one of the gems in Kermit Lynch's portfolio. It's one of the great wines of Chateauneuf du Pape, one of the great wines of the world.The extreme environment–stone, sun and wind–makes a special wine. You can taste all the elements. And with time, it evolves layers of flavor and a mellow core that is as seductive as any of the old world's great wines.
