Rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries, and then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

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

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

A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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