This old-vines bottling is all about smoky garrigue, dense black fruit, taut leather, chewy tannins, and stones.

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.

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.

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

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette

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

A white wine that straddles the northern and southern Rhône.

This unfiltered bottling from the 2021 vintage is one of the best editions to date.

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

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