Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

This Gigondas—densely concentrated and deeply opaque—is more refined than meets the eye.

La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on a graceful and lively frame.

A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.

This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit.

A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit.

Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.

It is important to remember the heights that old-vine Grenache can reach when planted on arid, stony plateaus in the shadows of Mount Ventoux.

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.
