About this Item
Hippolyte Brunier founded Vieux Télégraphe in 1898 and it has remained in the Brunier family for six generations. At the time, only 1 hectare of their land was planted with vines but Henri Brunier, who took over in the late 1940s, increased the vineyards and promoted their wines to other countries. Their vineyards are planted on the Plateau of La Crau, a site renowned for grape-growing in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and they are considered one of the most renowned estates of the Southern Rhône.

Critics Ratings
'Shinning for its elegance and purity, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape is a beautiful, complex effort that offers lots of kirsch, black cherries, garrigue and olive, with a darker fruit slant with additional time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, mature, yet still lively and fresh, it has fine tannin, impeccable balance and a great finish. Called a good, not great, year by Daniel Brunier, enjoy this classic Vieux Telegraphe anytime over the coming decade.' - Jeb Dunnuck Robertparker.com 93/100 (2016)
