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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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