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.

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

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

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.

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

Just in the mood for a splash of red? A half-bottle of perfectly mature VT will transform the occasion!

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.

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

The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir.

The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.
