This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit.

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.

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.

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

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

Clos La Roquète’s blanc is luscious, yet finishes nice and dry with striking acidity.

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

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

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.
