Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Crau 2023

$11999

La Crau's legendary plateau of sun-soaked stones produces wines of remarkable balance and drive, and the 2023 captures that magic with classic elegance that will age for decades. Generous fruit stays incredibly fresh while the terroir speaks through structure and precision—Châteauneuf at its most refined. The Brunier family's mastery shines through in every sip, honoring tradition while embracing the freshness of an exceptional vintage.

"The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau is going to turn heads for a long time to come. Pronounced violets, wild strawberries and melted licorice mingle with blackberry and garrigue on the complex aromatic profile. Alluring, concentrated and superbly structured through polished tannins, the full-bodied 2023 is such a gorgeous Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau." —Nicolas Greinacher

More about Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe

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.
