Description

The 2023 Vieux Télégraphe “Piedlong” Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a refined and aromatic Rhône red, crafted from around 90% Grenache with a touch of Mourvèdre, highlighting a more elegant and lifted expression of the appellation. The nose is perfumed and complex, showing wild strawberry, red plum and cherry, layered with dried herbs, crushed violets and floral notes.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins and a smooth, balanced texture. Juicy red fruit, spice and subtle savoury elements lead to a long, elegant and vibrant finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A beautifully poised Châteauneuf-du-Pape that leans toward finesse over power. Ideal for Rhône lovers who appreciate elegance—enjoy with decanting or cellar for 8–15+ years. Perfect with lamb, duck or Mediterranean dishes.

About the region

Rhône Valley · Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The Rhône is really two regions under one name. In the north, between Vienne and Valence, Syrah grows alone on steep granite terraces at Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Joseph, while Viognier makes the perfumed whites of Condrieu. Further south the valley widens and warms, and Grenache leads blends drawn from a long list of permitted varieties at Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. The two halves share a river and little else.
