Viniou Reviews

The 2011 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Domaine Vieux Télégraphe, specifically the Cuvée La Crau, is a stunning representation of this prestigious Rhône Valley appellation. This wine benefits from the unique terroir of the southern Rhône, with its distinct galets roulés (rounded stones), lending to its robust character and complex layers. It's often a blend dominated by Grenache with a mix of Syrah and Mourvèdre, bringing notes of ripe red fruits, spices, and earthy undertones. The 2011 vintage was marked by balanced weather conditions, allowing for optimal ripening. Domaine Vieux Télégraphe, with its long history dating back to 1898, has a reputation for traditional winemaking techniques, contributing to the wine's structured elegance and ageing potential.

For food pairings, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape shines alongside hearty dishes that complement its richness and depth. A classic pairing would be a lamb roast with rosemary or beef stew. Additionally, regional dishes like cassoulet or Provençal daube with olives would be excellent choices, highlighting the wine's Mediterranean roots.

When serving this wine, aim for a temperature of around 16-18°C to fully appreciate its aromas. Decanting for at least an hour before tasting will help aerate the wine, releasing its bouquet of aromas. Begin by observing the deep colour, then swirl to release its complex nose of fruit and spice before sipping to explore its full-bodied finish.
