Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

June Club Gourmand ~ Fragrant aromas of lavender and garrigue, notes of perfectly ripe black cherries, hints of black olive and stones.

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

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 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.

Deep and expansive on the palate, it demands flavorsome roasts, stews, or a pristine cut of dry-aged beef over coals.

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

At once robust, succulent, and elegant, this red offers immediate pleasure and age-worthy promise.

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

Perfect for those who enjoy delicacy and finesse in their Châteauneuf.
