Telegrams

Télégramme is the gateway into the Brunier universe – direct, substantial, and unambiguous in its character. No detours, no soft focus.

Vignobles Brunier has been cultivating vineyards in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC since 1898, now in its fourth generation. The Télégramme is made from younger vine parcels surrounding their flagship Vieux Télégraphe – same philosophy, same drinking pleasure. Aged for 20 months, bottled unfiltered.

In the glass, dark cherry, blackberry, and dried garrigue herbs – thyme and lavender. With aeration, warm notes of black pepper and a hint of leather emerge, typical of the Grenache-dominated soils of the southern Rhône Valley. The body is full, the tannins ripe and velvety, the finish long with a subtle spiciness.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Drinking window: now until 2030. Pairs well with braised lamb with olives, wild boar ragout or a robust Tomme from Provence.
