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

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

Serve this one cool, from a carafe, with a plain old burger—generously seasoned with herbes de Provence.

Rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries, and then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

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.

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.

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

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

Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.

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.
