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

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

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

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

Rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries, and then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

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

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.

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

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.

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