2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, La Crau, Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, Rhône
Description
The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, La Crau, by Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, is made with 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault from vines grown on the galet-strewn La Crau plateau. Juicy yet refined, hints of rose petals lift its raspberry and strawberry coulis nose. The palate has a moderate density with fine, chalky tannins, layers of berry fruit, and herbal freshness. It is mouth-watering near endless energy.

Critics reviews
The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau is a solid effort from the Brunier family. The 2021 La Crau unfurls in the glass with a fragrant perfume of crushed violets, lavender, strawberry, raspberry, dried herbs, mint and a dash of white pepper. It is full-bodied and layered, showing a refined profile marked by soft tannins and lively acids. Not as powerful as either the 2020 or 2019, but the 2021 is certainly the most elegant rendition among them.
