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

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.

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.

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

It is important to remember the heights that old-vine Grenache can reach when planted on arid, stony plateaus in the shadows of Mount Ventoux.

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

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

Serve this one cool, from a carafe, with a plain old burger—generously seasoned with herbes de Provence.

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