Wonderfully perfumed—seductive, yet cerebral. Rich and muscular with suave, handsome features; radiantly bright with a long, tender, caressing finish. Good for a Tuesday night, but don’t doubt the long-term potential.

The wines of Vieux Télégraphe evoke the concept of terroir in its purest form: they reflect their dramatic climate, the rough terrain that defines the soil, their full sun exposure at a higher altitude, the typicity of the varietals with an emphasis on Grenache. The wines of V.T. are classics, displaying strength, rusticity, earthiness, and tremendous longevity.
