VIEUX TELEGRAPHE CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE BLANC 2024

Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2024
by Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

A rare and highly refined white Châteauneuf-du-Pape from one of the appellation’s benchmark estates — combining richness, freshness, and remarkable ageing potential with unmistakable Southern Rhône character.

Style & Terroir Character

• Blend typically led by Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Bourboulenc

• Grown on the famed La Crau plateau with its heat-retaining galets roulés

• Crafted for balance and longevity rather than overt weight

Vieux Télégraphe Blanc is known for its mineral backbone, aromatic complexity, and restrained power.
