TASTING NOTE: "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. Itis 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. Drink: 2025-2043"
93-95 Points - Nicholas Greinacher - ABOUT THE WINE: A blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre and the balance of Cinsault. 20% whole bunch vinification, with fruit coming from the lieu-dit "La Crau" with vine age averaging 70yo.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Sixth-generation family member Nicolas Brunier now runs to the historic Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s oldest and largest wineries, renowned for its tradition of producing age-worthy, high-quality wines. The Brunier portfolio within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC includes the red Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe La Crau, Piedlong and Télégramme, as well as the Vieux Télégraphe Blanc and Blanc Clos la Roquète. Piedlong, from 50-to-70-year-old vines in a stony lieu-dit. The Brunier family acquired this plot in 1986 with Domaine de la Roquète with winemaking taking place at the latter.
