Valinière is a monumental demonstration of what happens when respectfully working the earth is not just a job, but one’s whole life.

Bright notes of fresh red berries, peaches, and assorted citrus are balanced by a spicy and soulful Mourvèdre character, yielding an excellent food wine.

Made mostly from Syrah—with a splash of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault—this cuvée is all about the terroir. Along with soulful, dark fruit, you can taste the stoniness in the wine. Cool it down, decant it in any kind of vase you have handy, and serve it the next time you fire up your grill.

Showcasing impressive texture and flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and spring flowers, this offers a great pairing for grilled fish or seared scallops.

After aging for eight years, it’s now in a spot where the fruit recalls savory plums and baked cherries.

Decades ago, Isabelle and Matthieu planted Mourvèdre on southeast-facing terraces, using cuttings from exceptional Bandol vineyards, forming them into stumpy, gobelet-trained vines. Today, Noémie treats them with the reverence they deserve and crafts a robust, soulful, and exquisite rouge with notes of dark fruit, spice, and leather.

A model of lightness and drinkability for southern reds!

A stony, spicy cuvée full of Mediterranean sunshine, aromatic garrigue, and a hint of salinity.

Thanks to the vines’ elevation and crucial cool nighttime temperatures, her blend of Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Clairette, and Viognier delivers plenty of character and refreshment.

A cold glass hits the spot every single time, bursting over the taste buds with bright citrus, wild strawberry, and a juicy finish that makes one’s mouth water in anticipation of the next sip.
