Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
Vieux Télégraphe's benchmark La Crau Châteauneuf: Grenache from the highest galets roulés plateau, blended with Syrah and Mourvèdre. Rich and concentrated with remarkable mineral definition from the heat-reflecting stones; structured for 15-25 year evolution.
