2021 Gigondas “Racines”
Domaine Les PallièresFresh and airy on the nose, with hints of tobacco and licorice. 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.

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

This Gigondas rosé is a real pleasure to be around. It’s seasonally versatile and could quite possibly be the most food friendly rosé we carry!
2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Télégramme”

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.

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.
2022 Vacqueyras Rouge “Floureto” MAGNUM

The Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.
2023 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse “Le Pigeoulet” Blanc
France | Southern Rhône
The blend is equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette. Together, they create a wine that has a complex mouth-feel that finishes with a nice refreshing acidity.
2007 Gigondas “Les Racines” HALF-BOTTLE
France | Southern Rhône
Deep and expansive on the palate, it demands flavorsome roasts, stews, or a pristine cut of dry-aged beef over coals.
2008 Gigondas “Terrasse du Diable”
France | Southern Rhône
On the surface is an abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day. Below the surface lurks a bitter austerity.

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
