This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.

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

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

This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.

This Gigondas—densely concentrated and deeply opaque—is more refined than meets the eye.

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

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.

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

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

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