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.

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

Truly classic Vieux Télégraphe, deep and powerful as usual, yet showing great finesse and class, almost an ethereal quality.

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.

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.

The 2022 vintage drinks like something even more ethereal than you’d expect from a southern red.

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

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

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

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