The Wine Advocate

"Showing a bit of brick at the rim, Vieux Telegraphe's 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape remains a wonderfully complex, vibrant wine. Marked by scents of pressed flowers, a hint of button mushrooms and plenty of cherry-raspberry fruit, it's medium to full-bodied and silky textured, finishing long and complex.

I arrived at VT during the 2021 harvest; they hadn't picked the previous two days, waiting for the vineyards to dry out a bit after the second of two rain events. "You can't have two storms like this without having some effect on structure and concentration," said Daniel Brunier. "Here, at least, we had no [spring] frost, but we lost 80% in the Ventoux."

Although I tasted those wines during this visit, the Famille Brunier wines from other appellations will be covered in the next installment of Southern Rhône coverage. Piedlong is still listed here, while Clos la Roquete has its own listing, basically since that's the way they've long been listed in our database. Going forward, those, too, will be listed under the Famille Brunier umbrella.

Looking at the 2019s and 2020s from this historic estate in quick succession, the differences between the vintages were readily apparent, with the 2019s being darker-fruited and perhaps a bit more structured. "The vintages are brothers," said Brunier. "The tannins in '19 are a bit more dry. It's rare to have two vintages together that are so similar. The differences are there, but not that much. The biggest difference is in the tannin structure.

"The 2020 vintage was very dry until the end—maybe a bit too dry—but the rains in November and December 2019 helped, and the low yield means you don't see the dryness, because the vines didn't suffer. Harvest began August 22 or 23, and we finished on September 19. The fruit was so clean, the weather so dry, it was easy to pick."

A visit to Vieux Telegraphe also means a chance to revisit past vintages, so Brunier opened bottles of the 2011 and 2001. "Arriving after 2010, which was great, I don't have a good memory of that vintage [2011]," said Brunier. But the wine showed well, mature and nicely evolved yet still offering a few more years of drinkability.

Of 2001, Brunier remarked, "It was a normal summer, normal rain at normal times, with no big, defining feature. But this is the kind of vintage I can drink a bottle by myself. It's not a big vintage by the numbers, but it has aged well because it is balanced." Amen to that."

"Shinning for its elegance and purity, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape is a beautiful, complex effort that offers lots of kirsch, black cherries, garrigue and olive, with a darker fruit slant with additional time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, mature, yet still lively and fresh, it has fine tannin, impeccable balance and a great finish. Called a good, not great, year by Daniel Brunier, enjoy this classic Vieux Telegraphe anytime over the coming decade."

"The 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau is gorgeous, structured, impressive. Full-bodied and backward, with great depth, purity, and heady aromatics, this 20,000-case blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, and 15% miscellaneous amounts of the other permitted varietals will easily rival the 1998. A deep ruby/purple-tinged color is accompanied by a sweet perfume of salty sea breezes, seaweed, melted licorice, kirsch liqueur, creme de cassis, and iodine ... a classic Vieux-Telegraphe aromatic display. Powerful as well as firmly structured, this is a wine to lay away for 4-5 years. It should prove to be uncommonly long-lived, lasting a minimum of two decades. It gets my nod as the greatest Vieux-Telegraphe since the 1998. The 2002 will probably merit a score in the low-eighties when bottled. Called “Telegraphe,” it represents only 50% of the estate’s production, nearly all of it Grenache. It is a surprisingly tasty effort, as is the 2002 white Vieux-Telegraphe, which has been declared. I rated it 89, and it was one of the finest 3 or 4 dry whites I tasted in Chateauneuf du Pape from this vintage."
