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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
