Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.

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.

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

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

This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.

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

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.

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

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

Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.
