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

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

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

If Télégramme is more about fruit than stones, it is still undeniably Châteauneuf.

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

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

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

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

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

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.
