Vieux Télégraphe White 2024
Châteauneuf du pape - Vignoble Brunier
95/100 James Suckling
A driven, precise and well-composed white with aromas of green apples, sweet lemons, warm herbs, fennel and almond powder. It's medium- to full-bodied with an attractive, textural mid-palate. Plenty of minerality adds freshness and balance. Flavorful, tactile and long.
