The 2022 vintage drinks like something even more ethereal than you’d expect from a southern red.

Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.

Aromas of black pepper, briny black olive, and violets with the earthiness, herbs, and concentration of southern Rhône Grenache.

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

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.

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.

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

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