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.

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

Leydiers at Domaine de Durban are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style.

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

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

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.

This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for grillables.

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

Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.

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