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.

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

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

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.

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.

Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

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.

Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.

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