Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

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.

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

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

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.

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

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

Perfect for those who enjoy delicacy and finesse in their Châteauneuf.

Les Racines has a deep core of dark berry fruits, notes of licorice, or réglisse, and a concentrated texture that conveys power with silkiness.

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