We aimed for maximum drinkability: plenty of hedonistic purple-tinged fruit, along with a hint of wild herbs and lovely lavender and violet notes.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.
