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.

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 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.

Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.

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

Clos La Roquète’s blanc is luscious, yet finishes nice and dry with striking acidity.

Rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries, and then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

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