The galets — large rounded stones covering the vineyards — hold the day's heat and release it overnight. Grenache brings the sweet-edged dark fruit; Syrah and Mourvèdre add structure and savory depth. The Rhône splits in two: Syrah alone in the steep northern sector, Grenache-led blends across the broader, warmer south. Bottled by Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe from the 2023 harvest. Give it air before serving. Serve with lamb, game, stews, or a herb-crusted roast.
