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.

On the surface is an abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day. Below the surface lurks a bitter austerity.

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.

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

January Club Chevalier ~ The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir.

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

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

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

Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.
