The 2014 Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau Museum Release is a mature, cellar-aged expression from one of the Rhône Valley’s benchmark estates, crafted from a traditional Grenache-led blend with Mourvèdre and Syrah. Sourced from the iconic La Crau plateau, the 2014 vintage is known for its elegance and balance, now enhanced by extended bottle ageing. The nose is perfumed and refined, showing raspberry, red cherry and dried orange peel, layered with garrigue, spice, leather and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, integrated texture and fine, resolved tannins. Flavours of red fruit, herbs and mineral notes are supported by fresh acidity, leading to a long, graceful and savoury finish. The style is classic and understated, highlighting finesse, purity and tertiary development over power.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this Museum Release is perfect for customers seeking a ready-to-drink, aged Châteauneuf-du-Pape with depth and elegance. It’s ideal for those exploring mature Rhône wines or collectors looking for a refined, terroir-driven expression. Drink now and over the next 5–10 years. Best paired with roast lamb, game, stews or mushroom-based dishes.
