"Vieux Telegraph," named
whimsically after the telegraph relay towers that dotted the vineyard a
century and more ago. I visited
Vieux Telegraph
during the
Rhone Wine Experience. Their wine "Le Crau" is named for the hill with
its lomey red clay and rock that rolls gently above the winery. |

Feb 4, 2000 - Domaine Du
Vieux Telegraph, Vieux Mas Des Papes , CDP (Chateauneuf Du Pape) 1997
($30) WS 91. I tasted this wine with
Alain Narjoux, Maitre de Chai at the
winery last summer and very much wanted it to be a hit and was pleased to
see it Highly Recommended in WS Aug 31 issue. I wish I could add to
the praises. Read WS carefully - very ripe, fat in texture, earthy..
subtle warnings - this wine is a slight bit hard and is - less
approachable to the less hearty. ( RM 85). |
