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

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

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

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.

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

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.

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

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

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

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