Tasting notes
More bright and juicy than the 2006, the 2007 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc La Crau had lots of ripe fruit and floral notes, medium to full body and an upfront, drink me now demeanor. There's a refreshing core of acidity that keeps this clean and crisp.

The 2007 Vieux Telegraphe Blanc, which represents 7% of this estate’s Chateauneuf du Pape production, is an unusual blend of 40% Clairette, 30% Grenache Blanc, and the rest equal parts Roussanne and Bourboulenc. One of the most consistent and finest of the white Chateauneuf du Papes, it offers up a floral character (reminiscent of Viognier) along with white currants, and hints of rose water and honey. It possesses medium to full body, crisp, zesty acidity, superb purity, and an elegant mouthfeel. Enjoy it over the next several years. This venerable estate, long run by the Brunier family, is a consistent source for fabulous wines. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
