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.

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.

Les Racines has a deep core of dark berry fruits, notes of licorice, or réglisse, and a concentrated texture that conveys power with silkiness.

This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir.

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

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

Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.

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