It beckons you to follow Maxime-François’s advice: “Drink it when you are very, very thirsty!”

The 2022 vintage drinks like something even more ethereal than you’d expect from a southern red.

Rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries, and then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for grillables.

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

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

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.

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

Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.

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.
