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

This grippy rouge comes from Domaine de Fontsainte’s most famous parcel called “La Demoiselle,” planted in 1904.

Mourvèdre and Grenache from a historic vineyard site give this elegant and profound red, replete with wild herbs, spice, and a chewy, stony tannin.

Mas Champart

This chewy red offers aromas of ripe black cherry and wild brush that beg for something hearty, grilled, and smothered with garlic and herbs.
