Layered and finely etched, the 2020 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau weaves ripe black cherry and redcurrant fruit through notes of wild herbs and subtle spice, carried on a vivid line of acidity. The palate feels concentrated yet poised, with sleek, persistent tannins and a distinctive mineral snap that gives this warm-vintage wine remarkable lift and length. A serious, ageworthy La Crau that balances southern power with striking finesse.

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau is the estate’s flagship red, sourced exclusively from the famed, high-lying La Crau plateau, whose deep beds of galets roulés and poor soils imprint the wine with a distinctive stony, mineral character. Typically Grenache-led with Mourvèdre, Syrah and small amounts of other permitted varieties, it is known for its powerful yet classical structure, intense red and dark fruit, garrigue and savory notes, and a proven capacity to age gracefully for decades.
