Imagine a red, Grenache-based Sauternes, full of earth and spice, and you’ll have a decent idea how delicious this Banyuls tastes.

Thanks to the vines’ elevation and crucial cool nighttime temperatures, her blend of Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Clairette, and Viognier delivers plenty of character and refreshment.

June Club Rouge ~ This stylish cuvée of mostly Grenache captures France’s Mediterranean in all its fragrant glory.

The Rozeta features the exuberant, inviting perfume and velvety wild fruit we expect from a wine that underwent 100% whole-cluster fermentation.

After aging for eight years, it’s now in a spot where the fruit recalls savory plums and baked cherries.

These domaines capture the immense character and endless diversity of the Languedoc-Roussillon’s sun-soaked, windswept vineyard patchwork.

Decades ago, Isabelle and Matthieu planted a little bit of Cabernet Franc as a curiosity more than anything else, but Kermit liked it so much we’ve imported it ever since.

Made mostly from Syrah—with a splash of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault—this cuvée is all about the terroir. Along with soulful, dark fruit, you can taste the stoniness in the wine. Cool it down, decant it in any kind of vase you have handy, and serve it the next time you fire up your grill.

A stony, spicy cuvée full of Mediterranean sunshine, aromatic garrigue, and a hint of salinity.

Tasting the bottle, one quickly sees winemaker Cyriaque Rozier’s statement that Malvasia has “acclimated perfectly to the land of La Roque” is not an overstatement.
