Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.

Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.

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

This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.

Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

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

One can find more powerful Muscats, but none as tasty and fine.

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

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

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