2011 Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe, Chateauneuf du Pape, Rhone

The village of Givry, just south of Mercurey, has a long reputation for making dazzling Pinot Noir and some of the finest red Burgundies of the region.
    From a tiny 11-acre plot, this Premier Cru Givry by Thenard boasts a Pinot Noir like no other.
    Red Burgundies set the standard by which all Pinots from around the world are judged; this particular vintage exemplifies why wine lovers of all kind are passionate about their Pinots.
    Whether you prefer Pinots from California, Oregon or Burgundy, this delicious wine offers a luscious and versatile profile. Boasting classic red cherry fruit with hints of crushed white pepper, rose pedal aromas and a hint of smoked mushroom, this pretty red is riddled with flavors of cherry and raspberry, tinged by baking spice.
    Whether you are entertaining guests, or enjoying a quiet meal at home, this Burgundy is the perfect complement. Feel free to pair with grilled salmon, sushi, chicken, lamb, and duck. Enjoy!
