Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

The 1998 harvest was a tricky one, according to Daniel Brunier. Ambient temperatures were hot, he noted, and it was essential to control fermentation temperatures carefully. Vieux Telegraphe did a lot of pigeage, especially for syrah and mourvedre. As in all ripe years here, grenache from old vines was not destemmed because the stems were ripe. Brunier is quite high on the '98s, currently rating them even above 1990: "They're cleaner, better balanced wines," he says. "The acidity wasn't degraded by the sun or diluted by rain."
