Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe, Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2019 - Half Bottle Champagne Blend orange peel and dried apricotThis gradually opens up on the nose and the palate is svelte but serious. Wonderful brightness and clarity. Harmonious, self assured and complex without ever being heavy or cumbersome. The palate offers bright sweet, small sweet berry flavours flecked with minerals, gentler and easier than usual but with a certain gravitas nonetheless and a nice, moreish touch of austerity.
