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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.

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