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 thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for grillables.

Leydiers at Domaine de Durban are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style.

Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.

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

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

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’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

If Télégramme is more about fruit than stones, it is still undeniably Châteauneuf, expressing the nobility of carefully farmed Grenache from the Rhône’s finest terroirs.

This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.
