Vieux Telegraphe, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, La Crau Rouge 2011 (12 x 75cl)
Vieux Télégraphe, a storied name in the realm of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, has been crafting exceptional wines since the late 19th century. La Crau, their flagship cuvée, epitomizes the character and terroir of this renowned appellation. The 2011 vintage is particularly noteworthy, reflecting the cool weather conditions which favored a slow ripening process that enhanced flavor complexity and balance.
The 2011 La Crau Rouge presents a deep ruby hue, with an aromatic profile showcasing ripe red fruits, herbs de Provence, and earthy undertones. Its palate is robust yet refined, boasting fine tannins and a lingering finish, a testament to its aging potential. This vintage not only embodies the essence of Vieux Télégraphe but also serves as a solid investment for discerning collectors, given its esteemed reputation and the increasing scarcity of well-crafted Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines.
