DOMAINE DU VIEUX TÉLÉGRAPHE was founded in 1898.  Vineyards are farmed organically, and the vines in La Crau are now from 70 to 100 years old.  The wine is aged for 20 to 22 months in 60-hectoliter French oak foudres(large vats).  The nose offers notes of cherry, licorice, kirsch, and black raspberry, layered with floral scents and salty minerality.   full-bodied and concentrated, yet remarkably fresh with a long, silky finish showcasing hints of Mexican chocolate.  14.5% ABV
