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

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.

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.

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.

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

Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.

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

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.

A fresh, pure entry point to the Rhône’s great reds with aromas and flavors of black cherries, stones, and a hint of black olive.
