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

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.

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

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

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

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

It is important to remember the heights that old-vine Grenache can reach when planted on arid, stony plateaus in the shadows of Mount Ventoux.

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

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

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