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

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

This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for grillables.

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

This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.

Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.

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.

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

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