2019 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge “Il Fait Soif”
Maxime-François Laurent

2024 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Blanc “Le Pigeoulet”
France | Southern Rhône
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.

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.
2023 Vacqueyras Rouge “Doucinello” MAGNUM
France | Southern Rhône
The Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.
2023 Côtes du Rhône Rouge
France | Southern Rhône
Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.
2023 Vacqueyras Rouge “Doucinello”
France | Southern Rhône
The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.

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

France | Southern Rhône
Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.
2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape “La Crau” MAGNUM

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
