老電報酒莊（Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe）位於法國羅納河谷（Rhone Valley）的教皇新堡（Chateauneuf-du-Pape）產區，不但是Robert Parker欽點的世界155間偉大酒莊之一，也是當地一家知名的家族經營式酒莊，其經管者Brunier Family本身更是傅奇，一百多年來深根於教皇新堡最負盛名的地瑰-La Crau這片神秘莫測的高原之上。

老電報酒莊的歷史最早可以追溯到1891年，Henri Brunier將位於教皇新堡東南部的幾塊地送給了兒子Hippolyte Brunier，Hippolyte後來在這片土地上開始種植葡萄藤，開啟了Brunier Family與葡萄酒不解之緣的序幕。這塊葡萄園的所在地早在14世紀時便開始種植葡萄了，Hippolyte的兒子後來將酒莊擴展到42英畝，1821年，電報的發明者Claude Chaffe 在這裏建了一個信號塔，成為馬賽和巴黎的電報中心，這也是酒莊被稱為“老電報（Vieux Telegraphe）”的由來。  

二戰後期，酒莊的規模進一步擴大，達到了136英畝，其出產的葡萄酒也愈益走進主流消費市場。20世紀80年代，老電報酒莊由第五代後人Frederic Brunier和Daniel Brunier共同管理。如今，老電報酒莊不僅在教皇新堡產區有247英畝（約100公頃）葡萄園，還與朋友在其他產區一起經營了不同的酒莊。經過100多年的發展，在Brunier Family 6代人的傳承和發展下，老電報酒莊也愈益煥發出新的希望。  

老電報酒莊的葡萄園位於教皇新堡產區知名的克勞高原（La Crau）上，這裏風土卓絕，能賦予葡萄酒鮮明的礦物質風味。園內主要種植西拉（Syrah）、歌海娜（Grenache）、慕合懷特（Mourvedre）以及神索（Cinsault），葡萄藤的平均樹齡為60年。在葡萄園的管理上，酒莊採用可持續方式發展有機農業，投入大量人力進行疏葉、疏果、犁地以及施有機肥等，以確保葡萄的健康生長。在葡萄酒的釀造上，老電報酒莊致力於釀造能展現該年份氣候特色及風土的佳釀。為了追求葡萄酒的平衡與個性，老電報酒莊還會適時地調整釀造工藝。

(2007年分數)

🏅 Wine Advocate 96 pts

The 2007 Vieux Telegraphe may be the greatest wine made at this property since the 2005 and 1998. Dense ruby/purple-tinged with an exquisite nose of salty sea breezes, licorice, ground pepper, jammy black cherries, black currants, figs, and plums, this is a full-bodied, rich, Provencal-styled offering with lots of sweet, ripe tannin. It is surprisingly accessible for a Vieux Telegraphe (this wine normally shuts down several years after bottling), but it should have great longevity (25+ years) given its power, full-bodied mouthfeel, and enormous length and richness. This is a brilliant effort from brothers Frederic and Daniel Brunier.

🏅 Jeb Dunnuck 95+ pts

From magnum, the 2007 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau sports a deep blood red color to go with its decadent, ripe aromatics. Licorice, hot stone, meat juices, and roasted garrigue come jumping from the glass and the fruit leans towards the plum/raspberry liqueur spectrum. Beautiful on the palate, the wine is full bodied and lavishly textured, possesses loads of ripe fruit, impeccable balance and a long, focused finish. Very approachable now (and I thoroughly enjoyed this bottle) it continues to flesh out with air, gaining both depth and richness. Given the track record of this estate, I don’t see any reason this won’t drink well for 20+ years. Simply a stunning bottle of wine.

🏅 Wine Spectator 95 pts

Packed, in a brawny, muscular style atypical for this lush vintage, with a gravelly undertow to the currant paste, braised fig and dark licorice notes. Picks up even more steam on the finish, with grilled mesquite, mineral and garrigue notes and a long, hot stone¿filled finish.

🏅 Vinous 93 pts

Glass-staining ruby. Highly pungent bouquet offers black fruit compote, olive and floral qualities, along with a slightly high-toned quality that recedes with air. The palate-coating, deeply concentrated cassis and blackberry flavors display a slow-mounting spiciness. Pretty powerful for a wine from this estate, showing more heft and dark fruit character than usual. The finish is broad, velvety and impressively persistent. Long-time fans of this property's usually elegant style might not be over the moon for this wine's virility.
