Charlemagne Wine Club - 2012 Tastings

Southern Rhône and Vieux Télégraphe
presented by Paul Mapplebeck

We still remember the awesome 2010 tasting of Chateauneuf du Pape from Clos des Papes that Paul had collected and presented to us. Hearing that he was about disperse his similar collection of rival Vieux Télégraphe, we asked him for a V T presentation which puts these fine wines into a general Southern Rhône context.
