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

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.

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.

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

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

Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.

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

La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on a graceful and lively frame.

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

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