Vieux Télégraphe Rouge 2019
VINOUS – JOSH RAYNOLDS – DÉGUSTATION AOUT 2021
(95) Saturated ruby. Deep-pitched red/blue fruit liqueur aromas pick up suggestions of licorice, pipe tobacco and pungent flowers and herbs with air. In a lush, weighty style, offering expansive black raspberry, cherry cola, singed plum and fruitcake flavors sharpened by a jolt of spiciness on the back half. For all this wine’s richness, it’s energetic as well, showing solid, spice and floral-driven persistence on the finish, which is framed by velvety, even tannins.

97. If anyone tells you that Châteauneuf is just a big red that’s never elegant, then they need to taste this masterpiece of elegance. So many spicy and savory nuances on the very concentrated but almost perfectly proportioned palate. This is both joyful and serious at the very long, focused finish. Decades of aging potential! Drink or hold.

Sur l’étiquette, la gravure de la tour érigée par Claude Chappe, inventeur du télégraphe optique, et l’élégante typo gothique connue dans le monde entier. À l’intérieur du flacon, l’esprit de la terre de la Crau parle sa langue pure et profonde. L’élégance est déjà là, la densité et la richesse contenue aussi, c’est la marque du grenache arrivé tranquillement à maturité. Édouard Brunier le dit ainsi : «Ça grenache grave ! » On touche à la structure architecturale d’un monument construit pour témoigner de la longévite des grands vins d’ici.

98 – DOMAINE DU VIEUX TÉLÉGRAPHE 2019
La grande émotion de notre dégustation. Finesse de texture à couper de souffle, matière magnifique, fruit parfaitement mûr, avec cette impression folle d’évidence. L’évidence du grand vin, la tendresse en plus. Un modèle pour tous. Le cru est au sommet de son art.

96-98. Looking at the flagship 2019 Châteauneuf du Pape from this benchmark estate, it reveals a denser ruby/purple color as well as stunning notes of smoke red and black fruits, crushed rocks, peppery garrigue, and truffly earth. Hitting the palate with full-bodied richness, it stays tight and compact on the palate, with terrific mid-palate depth, a focused, structure mouthfeel and one great finish. This is a brilliant Châteauneuf du Pape from the Brunier family that’s going to benefit from upwards of 5-7 years of bottle age and have 30+ years of overall longevity.
