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.

A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.

Leydiers at Domaine de Durban are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style.

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

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

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

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

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.

Truly classic Vieux Télégraphe, deep and powerful as usual, yet showing great finesse and class, almost an ethereal quality.

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