Truly classic Vieux Télégraphe, deep and powerful as usual, yet showing great finesse and class, almost an ethereal quality.

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.

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.

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple 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.

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

If there were a Hall of Fame for French bistro reds, Poignée would be a first-ballot inductee—vibrant and classy, it’s the southern France counterpart to our favorite Morgons.

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