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

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.

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

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

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.

Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

This bears a rich bouquet of wild strawberry, flowers, garrigue, and sweet spices, culminating in a long, stony finale.

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

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

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.
