THE MERCHANT'S MARK

94+ / 100

Telegramme is the 2nd label of Vieux Telegraphe. Zesty fruit with an emphasis of raspberry and strawberry along with hints of freshly picked herbs and pepper.  Rich and textured, it has a hint of lavender.  With clarity and finesse, the wine is smooth and velvety with harmonious tannins.  A great wine in any vintage, this particular Telegramme is particularly good in 2015.

"Bottled after 18 months (other Châteauneuf-du-Papes see 24 months in cask). This is from the vineyards around La Crau. Fresh, bright raspberry and strawberry fruit aromas with a smooth, ripe and red plum-flavored palate. Pastry-like layers of fine tannins."

ANTONIO GALLONI

"The complex, highly perfumed nose evokes fresh raspberry, cherry, spicecake and lavender. Juicy, seamless and lively on the palate, offering focused red fruit, succulent herb and spicecake flavors that deepen on the back half. Nicely concentrated but also lithe and precise. Gentle tannins give shape to the energetic fruit on the clinging finish."
