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

Clos La Roquète’s blanc is luscious, yet finishes nice and dry with striking acidity.

Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.

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.

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

Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.

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

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

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

The Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.
