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

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.

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

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

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

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.

Clos La Roquète’s blanc is luscious, yet finishes nice and dry with striking acidity.

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.

This bears a rich bouquet of wild strawberry, flowers, garrigue, and sweet spices, culminating in a long, stony finale.
