This Gigondas—densely concentrated and deeply opaque—is more refined than meets the eye.

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.

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

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

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

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.

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

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

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