A blend of Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Roussanne, it combines striking aromatic intensity with mineral precision and a refined, generous texture. Already inviting in its youth, this is a white Rhône with the structure and balance to develop beautifully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine presents a bright, pale golden colour. Its expressive nose brings together white flowers, ripe orchard fruit and subtle citrus, complemented by the distinctive stony mineral character of La Crau and a touch of noble richness.\n\nOn the palate, it is both supple and finely structured, with layers of pear, peach and citrus supported by a refreshing mineral backbone. The finish is long, elegant and persistent, suggesting excellent ageing potential over the coming years as the fruit and texture gain further complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from La Crau, the renowned plateau of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, whose stony soils and warm Mediterranean conditions help produce wines with concentration, freshness and distinctive mineral character. Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Roussanne contribute complementary qualities, from freshness and floral lift to body and aromatic depth. Specific harvesting and vinification details for the 2024 vintage are not provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Its combination of freshness, texture and mineral drive makes it a natural partner for grilled or roasted fish, shellfish, bouillabaisse, poultry in a creamy sauce and dishes featuring asparagus or artichoke. It can be enjoyed immediately, though a short decant or 20–30 minutes in a carafe may help reveal its full aromatic range; mature bottles are best handled gently and served without excessive chilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine du Vieux Télégraphe is one of the historic and most respected estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
