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

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

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

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.

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

The blend is equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette. Together, they create a wine that has a complex mouth-feel that finishes with a nice refreshing 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.

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

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

Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.
