Rhone - Southern Rhone - DOMAINE DU VIEUX TÉLÉGRAPHE

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe has been run by the Brunier family, for five generations - since 1891 to be precise. The estate’s vineyards, 60 years old on average, are planted on the celebrated Plateau of La Crau, a site renowned for grape-growing in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This terroir imparts to the wines a highly distinctive minerality, as if they have been filtered through the thick layer of large pebbles left behind when the Alpine glaciers melted, long before the Rhône Valley formed.
