Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.

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

Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.

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

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

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

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

Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.

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.

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.
