Tasting notes
Leading off the 2015s, the 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Télégramme is an elegant, incredibly charming effort that shows the house elegance and purity, with a more front-end loaded style. Red fruits, spice, pepper and a hint of minerality all emerge from this medium-bodied 2015 that’s ideal for drinking over the coming 7-8 years.

Drawn from young vines (under 40 years old) in La Crau and six or seven other parcels regardless of age, the 2015 Telegramme Chateauneuf du Pape features pretty cherry fruit and a fine dusting of clove and allspice. It's a supple, easy-to-drink wine to be consumed young.
Vivid ruby-red. The complex, highly perfumed nose evokes fresh raspberry, cherry, spicecake and lavender. Juicy, seamless and lively on the palate, offering focused red fruit, succulent herb and spicecake flavors that deepen on the back half. Nicely concentrated but also lithe and precise. Gentle tannins give shape to the energetic fruit on the clinging finish.
