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

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

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

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.

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

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

Another delectable wine from the Brunier family, with a complex mouth-feel that finishes with refreshing acidity.

Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.

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