I've started to see this around at shops lately, but have seen no mention of
it here. The label has the regular Vieux Telegraphe label printed in very
light ink - backwards - with the word Telegramme printed in the Old English
font, diagonally. I Googled this and came up with the story:

"It rained heavily in September 2002. Vieux Telegraphe's syrah and mourvedre
crop, normally 25% of the cuvee, was ruined. But its old-vines grenache on
the quick-draining cobblestone plateau produced fruit too good sell off.
Nonetheless, a 100% grenache Vieux Telegraphe would be atypical, so the
Bruniers decided to keep the best of the grenache and bottle it under the
title Telegramme, a one-time-only cuvee."

Has anybody here had a chance to try it? Its going for about half the price
of the regular cuvee ($35 where I've been seeing it).

Thankyou :-).

I'll nab a couple (and some other stuff to make my order 50ukp :-(). Post
notes here after 2 weeks bottle shock allowance.

Here's what they say BTW, 'Unperturbed by a potentially weaker vintage,
Daniel Brunier has posted a delicious and approachable winner. Eschewing the
dangers of enforced extraction, he has made an unabashedly and
uncharacteristically fruity Grenache-based wine. Virtue oozes out of
necessity, ripe and honest, serendipity offering something delicious to
drink as its four powerful antecedents evolve gracefully.'
