A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.

Full-bodied style, golden, old-school Chardonnay with a chalky base.

Its dark fruit is boldly mouth-filling, yet smooth and juicy, even crunchy when served with a slight chill.

Displaying both the oyster shell quality we love about Chablis and the sunny orchard fruit notes that make Bourgogne blancs so delicious.

You may find it to be leaner and livelier than the rich, plush Merlots of Pomerol and Saint Emilion

A relatively new addition to Guy Breton’s Beaujolais lineup, this exuberant Côte de Brouilly is flat-out delicious.

Aromas of wildflowers, saffron, beeswax, and Mediterranean herbs. Rich, fleshy, and focused, all at just 12% alcohol.

If you can’t make it to the south of France this year, here’s a way to bring the Mediterranean sun to you.

Aligoté may actually be an even more precise conduit for Burgundian terroir than Chardonnay.

With aromas of apple blossom and marzipan, this Chardonnay is hard to resist on its own, but would be the perfect accompaniment to a semi-hard cheese like comté or baked steelhead trout.

Chinons from Joguet are known for their firm minerality, but this one is quite charming as well, with plummy black fruit, myrtle, and notes of warm licorice.

This Riesling “Katz,” as we call it, is a beautifully linear and chiseled style of Riesling, fresh and pure.

A generous wine dominated by ripe black fruit with very supple, approachable tannins.

Lightly golden in color, it conjures up a day spent in the sun: seabreezes and ripe honeydew, including its subtle, savory rind.

Genuinely reflecting the down-home, country soulfulness we love about the Languedoc.

Ultra elegant yet energized, fresh, and juicy. An all-natural wine that’s just easy to love.

Fine, with bright acid, sleek silkiness, and great length, it is the most elegant of all of Thierry’s red wines.

This lithe and expressive “orange” wine is an ideal palate-opener with a dry, cleansing finish and a fresh, cooling effect like coastal sage and seaspray.

Imagine if in Alsace, deep beneath the earth, there were a Riesling aquifer...

Pure, classy fruit sing tenor without any interference from the earthy bass that often makes itself heard in Bourgogne rouge.

If Hermitage were grown in the Provençal Alps...

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.

Earthy Pinot Gris as dramatic and flinty as this, with a hint of residual sugar, demands an assertive pairing; try it with smoked sausage and mustard.

May Club Chevalier ~ Peppery and bright, earthy and juicy all at once.

Whatever snacks are on your table or picnic blanket, this blanc will fit the bill with its pretty notes of green apple, citrus, and subtle tropical fruits.

Fumin truly is, as Feuillet’s vigneron Maurizio Fiorano puts it, “an age-old pearl of local enology.”

A cold glass hits the spot every single time, bursting over the taste buds with bright citrus, wild strawberry, and a juicy finish.

This wine showcases everything I seek for in a dry Gewurztraminer. The nose shows pure, delicate aromas of fresh lychee and exotic fruit.

It is the up-and-coming white Corsican grape, rapidly winning back the reputation it had earned so long ago.

This white, raised in demi-muids with malolactic fermentation, flamboyantly shows off the affinity of ripe Vermentinu grapes with a judicious use of wood.

One of five or six most outstanding dry whites of the Mediterranean rim, vintage after vintage and worth every centime!

This wine is full of fresh Grenache fruit, beautifully perfumed, with a refined and elegant finish.

La Grave is one of the rare Cahors to consist exclusively of the native Malbec. Without any Merlot to soften it, this Cahors is decidedly old-fashioned.

Charly Thévenet and his father, Jean Paul, now bottle a range of five different wines in their cellars in Villié-Morgon

Muriel Giudicelli’s Patrimonio rouge is elegant, deep, bursting with ripe black fruits, silky smooth, and offering great length.

A simply stunning white that seems to not just elevate the food on your plate, but your entire mood. Your surroundings will melt away as you get lost in your glass.

Contrary to the usual rough and tannic reds of the far-reaching Côtes de Provence appellation, this is fresh and lively! A gem hidden in the hills.

A generous dash of plump, sun-ripened fruit enveloping a granite core.
