Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Vieux Telegraphe 2021

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe is a name synonymous with fine, age-worthy Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which has owned and run by the Brunier family for more than a century. The Vieux Télégraphe Blanc is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. The grapes come from mature vines in the Brunier family`s holdings in the elevated, pudding stone-strewn plateau of La Crau. The 2021 blanc is produced from 40% Clairette, 25% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne and 10% Bourboulenc, aged in a combination of 225l and 600l oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. "The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc might be one of the best examples of this white that` I`ve tasted. Incredible pear, white flowers, salty minerality, and hints of ripe citrus define the bouquet, and it`s medium to full-bodied on the palate, has remarkable purity, flawless balance, and a great finish."
