The blend is equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette. Together, they create a wine that has a complex mouth-feel that finishes with a nice refreshing acidity.

Les Racines has a deep core of dark berry fruits, notes of licorice, or réglisse, and a concentrated texture that conveys power with silkiness.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.
