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

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.

A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit.

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

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.

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

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

Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.

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

Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.
