If there were a Hall of Fame for French bistro reds, Poignée would be a first-ballot inductee—vibrant and classy, it’s the southern France counterpart to our favorite Morgons.

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

This bears a rich bouquet of wild strawberry, flowers, garrigue, and sweet spices, culminating in a long, stony finale.

Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.

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

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

La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on a graceful and lively frame.

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

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

A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.
