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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

If there were a Hall of Fame for French bistro reds, Poignée would be a first-ballot inductee—vibrant and classy, it’s the southern France counterpart to our favorite Morgons.

Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.
