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.

It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

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

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.

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

Another delectable wine from the Brunier family, with a complex mouth-feel that finishes with refreshing acidity.

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

This bears a rich bouquet of wild strawberry, flowers, garrigue, and sweet spices, culminating in a long, stony finale.

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