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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit.
