Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 'La Crau' Vieux Telegraph 2021

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
