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.

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.

A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit.

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

Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

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

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

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