This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

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

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.

It beckons you to follow Maxime-François’s advice: “Drink it when you are very, very thirsty!”

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

Fragrant aromas of lavender and garrigue, notes of perfectly ripe black cherries, hints of black olive and stones.

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

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.

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