The 2024 Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a classic Southern Rhône white blend, typically composed of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc, sourced from the iconic La Crau plateau. It showcases the estate’s traditional, terroir-focused style, combining depth with freshness and precision. The nose is refined and aromatic, offering notes of white peach, citrus, pear and acacia, layered with hints of honey, almond and subtle stony minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a rounded, textured mouthfeel, balanced by bright acidity. Flavours of ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest and gentle spice lead to a long, elegant and slightly saline finish. The style is poised and structured, with both immediate drinkability and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark white Rhône for customers looking for a richer, complex white with strong food-pairing versatility. It’s ideal for those who enjoy white Burgundy or Rhône blends but want something with more Mediterranean character and freshness. Drink now or cellar for 5–10 years. Perfect with roast poultry, seafood, creamy sauces or Mediterranean dishes.
