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

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

It is important to remember the heights that old-vine Grenache can reach when planted on arid, stony plateaus in the shadows of Mount Ventoux.

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.

The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir.

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

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

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

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