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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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