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.

The complexity and depth of this wine is driven by the 60-80 year old Grenache vines reaching deep down into the clay and limestone soils.

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

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

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

Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.

La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on a graceful and lively frame.

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

This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.
