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

April Club Rouge ~ Durban does here what they do best, keeping the focus and precision of the terroir as well as loads of fruit and pleasure.

We aimed for maximum drinkability: plenty of hedonistic purple-tinged fruit, along with a hint of wild herbs and lovely lavender and violet notes.

At once robust, succulent, and elegant, this red offers immediate pleasure and age-worthy promise.

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

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

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.

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

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