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.

This Gigondas—densely concentrated and deeply opaque—is more refined than meets the eye.

This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for grillables.

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.

Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.

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

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

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