Millésimes Télégramme Rouge 2017
VINOUS – DEC 2019 – JOSH RAYNOLDS
92-93. Deep ruby-red. Intensely perfumed raspberry and cherry aromas open up quickly with air and develop suggestions of candied flowers and baking spices. Stains the palate with intense red fruit preserve flavors that are lifted and sharpened by a smoky element. At once lively and well-concentrated, finishing with solid, fruity thrust, supple tannins and persistent spiciness.

93-94. Bright and brambly. Ripe, blueberry, raspberry and cassis aromas with a strong thread of wild herb notes. The shape is refined and taut through the palate. Some airy, fleshy lightness here with plush, fine and dense tannins. Finishes fresh with red fruit. Great value. Barrel sample.
WINE ADVOCATE – #238 – JOE CZERWINSKI
(90 – 92). A prospective tank sample of the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Telegramme was full-bodied but not particularly rich or concentrated considering the overall vintage character. Crisp strawberry and black cherry fruit are edgy, with firm tannins and clearly in need of additional élevage.
JEBDUNNUCK.COM – AUG. 28, 2018
90-92. Vinified and aged in tronconique tanks, Télégramme (it’s the classic blend but slightly shifted toward the Mourvèdre) offers a rich, concentrated, structured style that over the past 5-10 years has shown more depth, elegance, and structure. Black raspberries, white flowers, graphite, garrigue, and mineral notes all give way to a medium to full-bodied, layered, beautifully textured 2017 that has fine tannin, plenty of depth and a good finish.
