The 2022 vintage drinks like something even more ethereal than you’d expect from a southern red.

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

It beckons you to follow Maxime-François’s advice: “Drink it when you are very, very thirsty!”

Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.

Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

Leydiers at Domaine de Durban are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style.

This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for grillables.

Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.

This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit.
