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

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

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!”

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.

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.

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.

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

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