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.

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

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

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.

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

If Télégramme is more about fruit than stones, it is still undeniably Châteauneuf, expressing the nobility of carefully farmed Grenache from the Rhône’s finest terroirs.

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

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