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.

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

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.

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.

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

It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

This Gigondas—densely concentrated and deeply opaque—is more refined than meets the eye.

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

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