The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir.

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

Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

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

The complexity and depth of this wine is driven by the 60-80 year old Grenache vines reaching deep down into the clay and limestone soils.

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.

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

Deep and expansive on the palate, it demands flavorsome roasts, stews, or a pristine cut of dry-aged beef over coals.

The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.
