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.

La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on a graceful and lively frame.

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

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

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

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

Rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries, and then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

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

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

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