The year 2019 in the Southern Rhône was warm and dry, yet the nights remained fairly cool, which helped maintain the grapes’ balance. For Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe’s "La Crau" wine, this resulted in a Grenache that is rich in flavor yet free of the excessive jam-like sweetness characteristic of hotter vintages. The 60-year-old vines, planted on the "La Crau" plateau, where pebbles and red clay intermingle, have adapted well to the heat. Expect a powerful Châteauneuf-du-Pape that is enjoyable to drink now but also has the potential to age until 2036.
