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

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

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.

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

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit.

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

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

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

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