The 2022 vintage drinks like something even more ethereal than you’d expect from a southern red.

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

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.

A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.

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

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.

It beckons you to follow Maxime-François’s advice: “Drink it when you are very, very thirsty!”

Clos La Roquète’s blanc is luscious, yet finishes nice and dry with striking acidity.

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