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.

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

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.

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.

Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.

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

Fragrant aromas of lavender and garrigue, notes of perfectly ripe black cherries, hints of black olive and stones.

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

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.
