Châteauneuf du Pape - 2nd wine of Vieux télégraphe
For the production, the winegrowers have chosen to use vines less than 30 years old. As well as older parcels not located on the Plateaux of La Crau and Piedlong.
95-96/100 James Suckling
A fine-tuned, lively and precise red with red cherries, roses, dried herbs and a hints of dried orange peel, too. It's medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Texturally refined, in control and succulent. Plenty of focus and drive, but with a delicate touch. Flavorful finish with length.
