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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

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

Les Racines has a deep core of dark berry fruits, notes of licorice, or réglisse, and a concentrated texture that conveys power with silkiness.

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