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.

We aimed for maximum drinkability: plenty of hedonistic purple-tinged fruit, along with a hint of wild herbs and lovely lavender and violet notes.

Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

Clos La Roquète’s blanc is luscious, yet finishes nice and dry with striking acidity.

Fragrant aromas of lavender and garrigue, notes of perfectly ripe black cherries, hints of black olive and stones.

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.

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

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

October Club Gourmand ~ Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.
