2022 Beaumes-de-Venise Rouge
Domaine de DurbanI think of Durban as our Dupeuble of the south: two historic KLWM domaines we’ve imported for decades, providing us with value-driven wines that reward beyond expectation. This gulpable weeknight rouge will be a no-brainer restock for the devout many who are hip to its southern charms: rustic yet fresh, aromatically lifted, and plush, velvety tannin—all at a painless price point. The 2022 has appetizing notes of dried thyme and rosemary beneath its many layers of luscious red fruit, making it an epicurean dynamo with everything from veggie pizza to pot roast.
