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.

Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.

Serve this one cool, from a carafe, with a plain old burger—generously seasoned with herbes de Provence.

A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit.

The Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.

It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

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

This Gigondas—densely concentrated and deeply opaque—is more refined than meets the eye.

Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.
