We aimed for maximum drinkability: plenty of hedonistic purple-tinged fruit, along with a hint of wild herbs and lovely lavender and violet notes.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Les Racines has a deep core of dark berry fruits, notes of licorice, or réglisse, and a concentrated texture that conveys power with silkiness.

Perfect for those who enjoy delicacy and finesse in their Châteauneuf.

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.

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