Vieux Télégraphe 'Clos Roquete' 2020

One of the most iconic, impressive Châteauneuf estates, Vieux Télégraphe has been imported by Kermit Lynch since the 1980s. Their white is much scarcer than the red, owing to low yields for white grapes in Châteauneuf, and just low supply in general. Clos Roquete is a new property purchased by the Brunier family of Vieux Télégraphe, and now producing many interesting wines. This white, of which we were only offered six bottles for the year, is their flagship bottling.
