La « porte d’entrée » de ce domaine historique est devenue une cuvée à part entière, car elle n’est plus uniquement composée de jeunes vignes mais aussi d’une partie des vignes de l’ancien domaine de la Roquette. Son parfum somptueux nous mène vers des senteurs de coulis de fruits rouges. Fin et gracieux, tout en délié de texture, ce vin est tenu par des tanins délicats, avec un fruit appétant et gourmand.
Production was down 30% due to frost, but the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Télégramme is solid, with a medium-bodied, fresh, and lively style as well as attractive darker berry fruits, peppery herbs, and a kiss of minerality. It’s an elegant, balanced wine that will drink nicely for 5-7 years, probably longer. 89-91 pts.
