If there were a Hall of Fame for French bistro reds, Poignée would be a first-ballot inductee—vibrant and classy, it’s the southern France counterpart to our favorite Morgons.

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

A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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