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

Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

Truly classic Vieux Télégraphe, deep and powerful as usual, yet showing great finesse and class, almost an ethereal quality.
