Intense in both color and character, the most dense and vinous I can ever remember from this cuvée.

La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on a graceful and lively frame.

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.

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

Deep and expansive on the palate, it demands flavorsome roasts, stews, or a pristine cut of dry-aged beef over coals.

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

This bears a rich bouquet of wild strawberry, flowers, garrigue, and sweet spices, culminating in a long, stony finale.

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

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

Stony, spicy, and dense, it evokes red berries, watermelon, and garrigue and offers a beautiful accompaniment to a wide range of dishes.
