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 Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.

The blend is equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette. Together, they create a wine that has a complex mouth-feel that finishes with a nice refreshing acidity.

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

Durban does here what they do best, keeping the focus and precision of the terroir as well as loads of fruit and pleasure.

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

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

This Gigondas rosé is a real pleasure to be around. It’s seasonally versatile and could quite possibly be the most food friendly rosé we carry!

Serve this one cool, from a carafe, with a plain old burger—generously seasoned with herbes de Provence.

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