This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

The blend is equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette. Together, they create a wine that has a complex mouth-feel that finishes with a nice refreshing acidity.

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.

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

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

At once robust, succulent, and elegant, this red offers immediate pleasure and age-worthy promise.

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

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

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