The vineyard is one of the largest with contiguous parcels in the La Crau lieu-dit. Vieux Telegraphe is usually a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, 10% Cinsault and 10% Syrah. Although the blend can vary, depending on the character of the vintage. 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 hectoliter, oak tanks for maceration and fermentation.
