"Flavors of melted licorice, blood orange, black tea, macerated black currant, anise and smoldering tobacco have been woven together here with a thread of alder that ties up the full-bodied finish with grace. Shows power, but also definition, and retains a lovely, lingering feel. Best from 2013 through 2026. 89 cases imported." Reviewed November, 2012 |

"The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape l'Accent de la Roquete is composed of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. This seductive, fleshy red exhibits lots of raspberry, black currant and kirsch notes intermixed with hints of spring flowers, pepper and spice. Full-bodied and rich with good acidity, it should drink well for 10-15 years. " Reviewed October, 2012 |

"Bright ruby-red. Exotic, floral-accented aromas of raspberry and cherry liqueur, Asian spices and herbs. Spicy, penetrating red fruit flavors gain weight with air and pick up deeper licorice and cherry-cola qualities. Fine-grained tannins give shape and grip to an impressively long, floral-dominated finish. I don't recall ever having a more impressive wine from this estate." Reviewed Jan, 2013 |
Description:
Starting in 2011, there will only be one white and one red wine from Domaine La Roquete, called l'Accent de la Roquete. Moreover, it will only represent about 2,500 cases from the estate's oldest vines, located in the two lieux-dits of Pialons and Pignan. The balance of the fruit will be co-mingled with the declassified wine from Vieux Telegraphe into the Telegramme as both Daniel and Frederic Brunier want to build up the reputation and seriousness of Telegramme. Therefore, 2010 is the last vintage where one will see both a La Roquete Chateauneuf du Pape as well as the l'Accent de la Roquete Chateauneuf du Pape.

Terroir of Domaine La Roquete
Unlike Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe, Domaine La Roquete is not sited in a single lieu-dit; it is a collection of terroirs.
"Plateau du Pielong". This is one of the highest points in the appellation, the stony plateau par excellence, north of the village of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. It is similar to La Crau in all respects except location. It has the pebble covering, and the successive layers described in the Vieux Telegraphe soil survey. Practically all the Grenache grapes used in the La Roquwte reds come from this type of soil. L'Accent de La Roquete was created from the vines on the Plateau du Pielong, in homage to the old Grenache planted there â and, of course, to this type of terroir, found only in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
