It was Henri Brunier who penned the first chapter of this wonderful family story in 1891, in the village of B\u00e9darrides, well known today as occupying the southeastern portion of the Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape AOC area. In that year, he gifted to his son Hippolyte some plots of land on La Crau, a place in those days considered practically unfit for cultivation, its soil a thankless proposition due to a high density of pebbles.<\/p>\n

The latter planted his first vine stocks on this commanding plateau, where grapes had first been grown in the 14th century; and where, in 1821, Claude Chappe, inventor of the optical telegraph, built one of his signal towers. Hippolyte\u2019s son, Jules, extended the estate to 42 acres and aptly named the fruits of his labours \u201cVieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

At the end of the Second World War, Henri, the second thus named and the fourth generation, had the formidable task of reviving the estate and shaping its destiny. Not content with enlarging the Domaine to a single expanse of 136 acres, he gave this classic Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape wine its full dimension, creating a \u201cVieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe\u201d style and positioning it on all the world\u2019s leading markets.<\/p>\n

Since the early 1980s his two sons, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric and Daniel, have been tending to the family concern.They now farm 247 acres in the Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape AOC area, and 49,5 acres of IGP Vaucluse and AOC Ventoux vines. Domaine Les Palli\u00e8res must also be listed: acquired in 1998 in partnership with family friend Kermit Lynch, this single-plot 309-acre estate in Gigondas has 62 acres of vines.\nThe year 1998 also marked the creation of Massaya in Lebanon in association with Sami and Ramzi Ghosn, which now makes wines from 123 acres of vines, planted mainly in the northeast Beqaa Valley.
\nEn 2015 et 2016, Nicolas fils de Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric et \u00e9douard, fils de Daniel, sont entr\u00e9s dans l’histoire du Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe, en int\u00e9grant pleinement l’entreprise \u00e0 des postes cl\u00e9s. Manon, fille de Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric, les a rejoint en 2018\u2026<\/p>\n

After more than 125 years in existence, the Domaine and its associated vineyards, guided by the fifth and the sixth generations of vignerons, have kept all of its initial philosophy very much alive.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"C\u2019est Henri Brunier qui donna naissance \u00e0 cette belle histoire de famille en 1891, dans le [...]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1233","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nHISTOIRE - Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/histoire\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HISTOIRE - Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/histoire\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-04-02T13:37:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"HISTOIRE - Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/histoire\/","og_locale":"en_GB","og_type":"article","og_title":"HISTOIRE - Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe","og_url":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/histoire\/","og_site_name":"Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe","article_modified_time":"2025-04-02T13:37:20+00:00","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Estimated reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/histoire\/","url":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/histoire\/","name":"HISTOIRE - Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/#website"},"datePublished":"2021-11-23T13:15:28+00:00","dateModified":"2025-04-02T13:37:20+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/histoire\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-GB","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/histoire\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/histoire\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Accueil","item":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"HISTOIRE"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/","name":"Vieux T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe","description":"grands vins de Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape","inLanguage":"en-GB"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1233"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3380,"href":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1233\/revisions\/3380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vieux-telegraphe.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
