Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape Telegramme 2022 - Flask Fine Wine & Whisky

Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape Telegramme 2022

Born out of necessity back in 2002, one of the most difficult harvests in the modern Rhone, Telegramme was the declassified holdings from Vieux Telegraphe. The label became such a sensation, the Brunier family decided to continue making it. Now it mostly consists of younger vine fruit and the wine was geared towards a more approachable style that could be easily enjoyed in its youth. The 2022 vintage saw anotehr extreme weather event when a tornado ripped through "La Crau" damaging vines and tearing fruit off the vine. The Brunier family once again decided to declassify all remaining fruit into the Telegramme. The wine is classic Telegramme with its sexy red fruit and spice character. There is the shadow of Telegraphe with a touch more structure but still imbued with fine grain tannins. A really special bottle for those in the know.

Critical Acclaim

93 James Suckling

An elegant expression of grenache in Chateauneuf, this has a wealth of red berries and summer flowers. The very solid tannins have been expertly crafted, and they build beautifully in the long finish. Considering how the vineyards were hit by hail just before the harvest, this has turned out very well.

93 Wine Spectator

Distinctive in a very good way, this chooses savory elegance over power. A refreshing and mineral-driven style, with appealing pepper, spice box and chestnut, all surrounding a core of red currant threaded with a stream of herbs. With warm earth on the seductively textured palate, this shows good energy and harmony through the vibrant finish, marked by iron and smoked meat. Well-done. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault. Drink now through 2032. 2,464 cases imported.

92 Jeb Dunnuck

The only wine produced in the vintage due to the devastating tornado just before the harvest, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Télégramme seems to be a mix of a normal Vieux Télégraphe and a Télégramme. Black raspberries, darker cherries, peppery garrigue, and a Grand Vin sense of salty minerality define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, has rock-solid ripeness, plenty of tannins, and outstanding length.

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A blend of 85% Grenache and the rest of Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre, the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Télégramme offers up aromas of flowers, dark cherries and dark wild berries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, structured and concentrated palate with velvety tannins and a long, dense finish.

92 Vinous

The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Télégramme kicks off with crushed violets, ripe raspberry, wild strawberry and a pinch of dried herbs. Leafy gradations add more complexity. Round and elegant, the full-bodied 2022 walks off the stage with persistence on the juicy finish.
