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

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 2022 vintage drinks like something even more ethereal than you’d expect from a southern red.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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