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.

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

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

The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.

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.

The 2022 vintage drinks like something even more ethereal than you’d expect from a southern red.

It beckons you to follow Maxime-François’s advice: “Drink it when you are very, very thirsty!”

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

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

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.
