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.

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.

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

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

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

It beckons you to follow Maxime-François’s advice: “Drink it when you are very, very thirsty!”

Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.

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

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