Born on the legendary plateau de la Crau, Vieux Telegraph's Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'La Crau' represents a great excellence of the region. In keeping with tradition, there are many varieties included in the blend: Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Clairette..., all grapes harvested from 70-year-old vines on soils rich in fascinating 'Galets roulés', the typical round pebbles that cover the soil. Robust, intense on the palate and nose, with typical hints of fruit, spices and Mediterranean scrub. The sip, imposing and fine at the same time, is that of a great wine. To be left in the cellar even for more than ten years

Intense plum and blackberry on the attack, then dry aromatic herbs, finally balsamic hints of aniseed develop, with a cinnamon and coffee finish
Very intense, powerful and impressively structured, warm but very fine
