Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe 2024 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc "La Crau", Rhone Valley

Only one in ten bottles of Chateauneuf-du-Pape is white, and thankfully, white Rhone wine isn't on everyone's radar.  Rarity cuts both ways.  Once word gets out, however, wine consumers who dare to sample this incredible wine will want to horde it, making it disappear off our shelves.  From one of Chateauneuf-du-Pape’s premier estates.

"Only about five percent of the wine produced in Châteauneuf-du-Pape is white, making this bottling a rare and beloved treat for its unique point of view in a sea of reds. The Clairette-based 2024 vintage is among the freshest in memory and one of the most complex whites on our shelves. Gone are the days when I crave only austere white wines! The silkiness and richness of a bit of flesh, the honeyed notes—it’s a dream for the senses."—Jane Augustine, Kermit Lynch
