--------THE PRODUCER--------

Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe

Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe has been run by the Brunier family, for five generations. Today still in the hands of the Brunier family, Daniel and Frederic, the vineyards cover 70 hectares in a single block on the famed La Crau Plateau, a site renowned for grape-growing in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

They cultivate and vinify various expressions of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape terroir – Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe (red and white), Telegramme (red), Piedlong (red), Clos la Roquete (white) – but also Les Pallieres in Gigondas (rose and red), as well as Le Pigeoulet (red and white) and Mégaphone (red) in the foothills of Mont Ventoux. They are wild about Grenache, a grape variety that has found a favourite home in their Provençal countryside.
