Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

April Club Rouge ~ Durban does here what they do best, keeping the focus and precision of the terroir as well as loads of fruit and pleasure.

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

A fresh, pure entry point to the Rhône’s great reds with aromas and flavors of black cherries, stones, and a hint of black olive.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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