Châteauneuf-du-Pape, half bottle 1998, Domaine de Vieux Télégraphe

A classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape from a world-famous estate, this is very fine and elegant in style, and the best vintages will age for 25 years and more. From vines on the stony Plateau de la Crau, in the south-east of the appellation, where the parishes of Bédarrides, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Courthézon meet. The average vine age is 70 years.
