Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe has been run by the Brunier family for six generations - since 1891. The estate's vineyards, 60 years old on average, are planted on the celebrated Plateau of La Crau, a site renowned for grape-growing in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
The production remains traditional. Grapes are destemmed in the majority of cases (close to 60% or more). The grapes are hand harvested and moved by gravity flow into the vatting room for fermentation where the young and old vines are separated and placed into short, 100 hl, oak tanks for maceration and fermentation.
