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.

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

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.

This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit.

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

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

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

Fragrant aromas of lavender and garrigue, notes of perfectly ripe black cherries, hints of black olive and stones.

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

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.
