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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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