Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc La Crau 2024
2024 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc "La Crau"
A highly acclaimed, classic expression of white Rhône winemaking, widely recognized as one of the benchmark white wines of the appellation. Produced by Frédéric & Daniel Brunier from 40-year-old vines grown on the stony, high-altitude La Crau plateau, it highlights a unique terroir of rounded riverbed stones (galets roulés) and clay. White Châteauneuf-du-Pape is exceptionally rare, representing only about 5% of the region’s total production
- Blend: 40% Clairette, 25% to 30% Grenache Blanc, 15% to 25% Roussanne, and 10% to 15% Bourboulenc.
- Aging: Aged sur lie in a combination of stainless steel/cement tanks, demi-muids, and large 30-hectoliter oak foudres.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator (95 Points): Notes of ripe pear, apple, dried herbs, chamomile, and smoke, all driven by a saline-brushed mineral acidity.
James Suckling (95 Points): Driven, precise, and tactile, showcasing aromas of green apples, sweet lemons, warm herbs, fennel, and almond powder with a beautifully textural mid-palate.
