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

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

Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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