Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge “La Crau” 2016

Today, the legendary family has reached the fifth and sixth generation, and La Crau is, for many, the best place in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The name of the domain founded in 1891 comes from the rocky plateau of the same name, on which, in 1792, Claude Chappe, the inventor of the optical telegraph, installed a relay.
