The 2023 Télégramme Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a vibrant and expressive Rhône red from the Brunier family (Vieux Télégraphe), crafted mainly from Grenache with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Sourced from younger vines, it offers a more approachable and fruit-forward style while still capturing the character and depth of the appellation. The nose is lively and aromatic, showing red cherry, raspberry and plum, layered with notes of peppery spice, dried herbs and subtle floral hints.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth, well-integrated tannins and a juicy, balanced texture. Fresh red and dark fruit flavours are complemented by gentle spice and a touch of savoury complexity, leading to a clean, elegant and easy-drinking finish. The style is polished, fresh and highly accessible.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A great introduction to Châteauneuf-du-Pape—perfect for customers who want Rhône complexity in a more approachable style. Enjoy now or over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with lamb, grilled meats or Mediterranean dishes.
