Vigneron Cyriaque Rozier crafts an elegant rosé of total refinement from these impossibly craggy limestone hillsides.
Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
Its intense aromatics brazenly translate the Pic’s rugged nature, and an almost chewable minerality brings to mind slabs of shattered limestone incarnated as energy, drive, and uncommon length on the palate.

France | Languedoc-Roussillon | A.O.C. Languedoc
Lately you may have noticed a rise in freshness, a burst in aromatics, and a softness of texture in La Roque’s wines.

France | Provence | Côtes de Provence
If Hermitage were grown in the Provençal Alps...
Clos Saint-Joseph

This unique terroir, nestled among the limestone mountains north of Nice, deserves its own appellation. Contrary to the usual rough and tannic reds of the far-reaching Côtes de Provence appellation, this is fresh and lively! A gem hidden in the hills.
