If there were a Hall of Fame for French bistro reds, Poignée would be a first-ballot inductee—vibrant and classy, it’s the southern France counterpart to our favorite Morgons.

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

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

This dark, autumnal rosé is a beacon of tradition in a sea of paler styles.

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

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

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

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

A crisp rosé, and very refreshing, but there’s plenty of soul and expressiveness here, too.

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