Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe’s 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau is a remarkable expression of the Southern Rhône, earning a stunning array of accolades, including 97 points from James Suckling. This vintage beautifully showcases the unique terroir with its garrigue-scented bouquet of ripe red berries, lavender, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it reveals a sumptuous layer of dark fruit, seamlessly balanced by vibrant acidity and silky tannins, leading to a long, elegant finish. Ideal for a cozy dinner featuring herb-crusted lamb or a charcuterie board, this wine not only impresses with its depth and complexity but also represents a smart buy for the quality, as it delivers well beyond its peers.
