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.

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

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

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

This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France.

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

It beckons you to follow Maxime-François’s advice: “Drink it when you are very, very thirsty!”

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

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.

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