Just different and obscure enough to deliver the thrill of introducing someone to a gorgeous wine that is familiar, but new.

This rosé, so pale you need to hold it up to a light that flicker of rosé hue, blurs the line between rosé and blanc.

A local specialty, Mille Vignes’ Muscat de Rivesaltes flaunts a ravishing perfume of infinite flowers and fruits, equally refreshing as an apéritif as it is satisfying with dessert.

Grenache (gris and blanc) makes up the majority of this cuvée and gives it impressive body and grip while Vermentino and Macabeu lend it freshness and lift.

These ancient hillside vines yield very little, giving an intensely concentrated juice with great acidity and a textured finish. Open it alongside seafood or as an apéritif.

This gris de gris is more delicate in color and perfume than its predecessor, but it still packs a lot of flavor.

Proof that a great site and honest farming are key to genuine, long-lived wines.

It’s dense, noble, with grip and grit, the kind of cuvée that could generate a lot of awe and attention... and also a much higher price tag.

A remarkably graceful rouge from one of our favorite appellations in southern France.

The accents of herbal garrigue and vineyard stones offer just enough earthy terroir to counterbalance the chewy black fruit and mouth-coating wild brambleberry, making this bargain red the right bottle to uncork at any which moment.

A blend of Grenache Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, and Vermentino that tastes as if bees had harvested the nectar and pollen of all the local flowers and herbs and brewed it into wine.

Melony, snappy, bright, and clean, this is a delightful everyday white with a refreshingly different flavor profile.

Simultaneously rustic and graceful, dark and light on its feet, this red shows succulent notes of mixed red and black fruit, spices, and leather.

On the palate: round, shapely, a slight bitterness like bay leaf, a salinity from the nearby sea, and great freshness.

Cinsault with a touch of Grenache, blended from various terroirs to create a traditional assemblage Languedocien.

One of southern France’s truly amazing values in white wine.

This drinks like great cru Beaujolais infused with southern soul.

A Mourvèdre-majority masterpiece, lots of pleasure and even more soul.

Earthy, meaty, savory, juicy, and powerful, it is a glassful of joyful, soulful goodness.

Bursting with sweet blackberry fruit coupled with just enough earthy terroir to keep you coming back for more. It's a majestic foil to any meal, and an excellent pairing with dark chocolate.

Hailing from the rugged and windswept hills of Corbières, which teem with garrigue and olive groves, La Demoiselle delivers a glorious taste of the South.

This wine marries the sunny influence of the south with chewy mountain tannins and a fresh streak of cool stone.

August Club Gourmand ~ For the southern red wine fanatic, lover of Bandol and other meaty reds, this wine is a steal. A blend of rustic and peppery grapes like Cab Franc, Carignan, and Syrah, it’s spicy, plummy, and so delicious. A cult favorite of those in the know.
