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.

The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir.

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

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.

Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

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

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

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.

At once robust, succulent, and elegant, this red offers immediate pleasure and age-worthy promise.

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