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

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

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

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.

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

The Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.

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.

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