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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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