TELEGRAMME CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE 2023

Télégramme Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2023
by Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

A beautifully pure and expressive Châteauneuf-du-Pape from one of the appellation’s most respected families — offering elegance, freshness, and classic Southern Rhône depth without heaviness.

Style & Terroir Character

• Grenache-led blend with Syrah, Mourvèdre and traditional Rhône varieties

• Grown on the famous galets roulés (large round stones) that store heat and aid ripening

• 2023 is vibrant and aromatic, with excellent balance between ripeness and freshness

Télégramme is the slightly more approachable expression of Vieux Télégraphe, while still carrying serious structure and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Nose
Ripe raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry compote, garrigue herbs, cracked pepper, subtle liquorice and warm stone minerality

Palate
Medium-full bodied and silky — juicy red fruits, soft spice, herbal notes, hints of dark plum and refined tannins

Finish
Long, fresh, and savoury with lingering fruit and gentle Rhône spice

Drinking Window

Beautiful now with a short decant and will continue to evolve gracefully for 8–12+ years.

• Roast lamb with rosemary and garlic

• Braised beef or short ribs
