Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Télégramme, Famille Brunier 2021

A Sip of Southern Rhône Magic

Tasting Notes

Bursting with vibrant red and black fruits, Télégramme delights with notes of ripe cherries, plums, and blackcurrant. Underpinned by subtle Provençal herbs, liquorice, and a touch of smoky spice, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape is fresh, approachable, and irresistibly drinkable. Its fine tannins and refreshing acidity create a beautifully balanced and lingering finish.

Perfect Serve

Best enjoyed at 16–18°C, Télégramme pairs effortlessly with rich dishes like lamb shank, duck confit, or a creamy mushroom risotto. Decant for 1–2 hours to reveal its layered complexity.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Télégramme is Vieux Télégraphe’s second-label Châteauneuf-du-Pape, crafted with grapes from young vines under 30 years old and older parcels outside the Plateaux of La Crau and Piedlong. The blend – 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre, and 4% Cinsault – is hand-picked with meticulous care, triple sorted, and de-stemmed before a traditional 25–30 day fermentation in temperature-controlled vats. The wine then matures for 10 months in vats, followed by 7 months in foudres, creating a fruit-driven wine that’s perfect for enjoying in its youth.
