Producers
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Aromas of black fruit, graphite, wild herbs, and game over firm, stony tannins. Saturated with flavors of the Île de Beauté.
Domaine Arretxea France | Southwest | Irouléguy
Yves Leccia France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Château Feuillet
Italy | Valle d’Aosta | Valle d’Aosta
Fumin truly is, as Feuillet’s vigneron Maurizio Fiorano puts it, “an age-old pearl of local enology.”
Vigneti Vecchio Italy | Sicily | Terre Siciliane Rosso
Domaine Ostertag
France | Alsace | Alsace
Ostertag’s Fronholz delivers deeply refreshing, pulpous cherry fruit, woodsy nuances that scream autumn, and velvety-smooth tannins that give the finest reds from anywhere a run for their money.
Antoine Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
A vibrant tonic akin to a savory brew of muddled stone, wild herbs, and salty sea air.
Thierry Germain France | Loire | Saumur-Champigny
Clos Saint-Joseph
France | Provence | Côtes de Provence
If Hermitage were grown in the Provençal Alps...
Domaine le Sang des Cailloux France | Southern Rhône | Vacqueyras
Domaine Rousset-Martin
France | Jura | Côtes du Jura
75% Pinot and 25% Poulsard, juicy and light with a slight perlant texture on the palate, redolent of currants, cherries, and spices.
Corte Gardoni
Italy | Veneto | Bardolino
Lovely right now, but a candidate for cellaring as well. It is cool to drink some reds cool.
Ludovic Engelvin
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Gard
Cinsault with a touch of Grenache, blended from various terroirs to create a traditional assemblage Languedocien.
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
The combination of tart red fruit, herbaceousness, and graphite earthiness.
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
France | Southern Rhône | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir to be enjoyed this winter.
Alex Foillard France | Beaujolais | Côte de Brouilly
Catherine & Pierre Breton
France | Loire | Bourgueil
A great option when you need to stop your “natty wine” friends in their un-sulfinated tracks. A seriously playful Cab Franc from the masters of vinous fun.
Domaine Ostertag
France | Alsace | Alsace
The idea with this wine is vibrant fruitiness. An absolutely delicious Pinot Noir to enjoy immediately.
Jean-Claude Regnaudot
France | Burgundy | Maranges
Dark and velvety, with beautiful notes of perfectly ripe raspberries and black cherries, balanced by impressive density and food-friendly acidity.
Alex Foillard
France | Beaujolais | Brouilly
A generous dash of plump, sun-ripened fruit enveloping a granite core.
Ludovic Engelvin
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Gard
This wine is full of fresh Grenache fruit, beautifully perfumed, with a refined and elegant finish.
François Rousset-Martin
France | Jura
Fresh and silky-fine, wild, and spiced, this stunner demands something equally characterful, like a lamb tagine or perfectly ripe Époisses.
Jean-Claude Marsanne France | Northern Rhône | IGP Ardèche
Maxime Magnon France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
Thierry Germain France | Loire | Saumur Champigny
Deperu Holler Italy | Sardinia | Isola dei Nuraghi
Grottafumata
Italy | Sicily | IGT Terre Siciliane
Grottafumata means “smoky caves” and that's exactly what I think about when I swish this around. Grown in volcanic soils, it's a perfect balance between smoky tannins and Sicilian grapes.

Domaine Gachot-Monot France | Burgundy | Côte de Nuits-Villages

Domaine Tempier
France | Provence | Bandol
La Tourtine perhaps best expresses the paradoxical combination of power and elegance that is a trademark of the Domaine's wines.
Bernard Baudry
France | Loire | Chinon
The comfort of settling in for the winter—that’s the feeling I get the minute I put my nose in a glass of Baudry’s Chinon Grézeaux. The very name suggests its gravelly terroir and earthy structure: a natural choice for this time of year.
Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
Shows a kinship with the northern Rhône, echoing aromas of black olive and violets.
Domaine de la Chanteleuserie France | Loire | Bourgueil
Maxime Magnon France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
Domaine de la Tour du Bon

This Bandol captures the essence of the Mediterranean. It has lush fruit with hints of rosemary, squid ink, and peppery meaty flavors.
Famille Brunier France | Southern Rhône | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Portelli
Italy | Sicily | Vittoria Frappato
The wine builds to a crescendo and leaves the palate stained and saturated with staying power. This is much more than quaffing Frappato. Irresistible.
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
France | Southern Rhône | Vacqueyras
A mixture of deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.
Tenuta La Pergola

At the domaine's highest-elevation site, Mourvèdre's might is gently enveloped by Grenache and Cinsault to yield a Bandol of great finesse.
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
France | Corsica | Ajaccio
A grandiose expression of Sciaccarellu worthy of grand cru status.
Thierry Germain France | Loire | Saumur-Champigny

France | Corsica
One of Corsica's finest reds, from a collection of heirloom grape varieties saved from extinction by Abbatucci's father.
Clos Canarelli France | Corsica | Corse Figari
Domaine La Tour Vieille
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Collioure
This cuvée is a classic southern French red, with the attitude and spiciness you’d expect from a full-blooded Catalan.
Bernard Baudry
France | Loire | Chinon
This cuvée comes from their highest vineyard, which rests on a plateau of gravel, sand, and limestone, and it is arguably their best entry point into the charm of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, lithe and less dense than the bottlings from their clay-and-limestone terroirs.
Bruno Colin
France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
Fresh, elegant, and balanced—a screaming deal for top-quality red Burgundy.
Domaine Follin-Arbelet
France | Burgundy | Aloxe-Corton
The Follins’ exquisite 2019 reds are aromatic, enchanting, and serious, encompassing everything we love about Burgundian Pinot Noir, and none is more immediately irresistible than this bottling.
Lionel Faury
France | Northern Rhône | Saint-Joseph
This beauty is brimming and bursting with deep dark flavors of black olive, blackberry and a hint of white pepper.

If you can’t make it to the south of France this year, here’s a way to bring the Mediterranean sun to you.

Giulia Negri
Italy | Piedmont | Langhe
Bright and chiseled, it offers lovely wild berry fruit and the fresh, earthy, signature common to Piemontese reds.
Corte Gardoni
Italy | Veneto | Corvina Veronese IGT
Light color. Bright fruit. Dazzling flavors. It is cool to drink some reds cool.
Maxime-François Laurent
France | Southern Rhône | Côtes du Rhône
This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for your favorite summer grillables.
Portelli
Italy | Sicily | Vittoria Calabrese
Not an inky, alcoholic bruiser, but rather a thing of ravishing delicacy, defined by mouthwatering black cherry fruit and lively acidity
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
Showing off Cabernet in its most delicate, charming form, rife with aromas of roses, damp earth, and little red berries.
Clos La Coutale
France | Southwest | Cahors
A red perennially punches way above its weight, both in the immediate pleasure it delivers and the way it evolves in the bottle over time.
La Basia
Italy | Lombardy | Valtènesi DOC
Fresh fruit, a peppery crunch, bright acidity, and light, smooth tannins.
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
France | Southern Rhône | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape has all the perfume, plush fruit, and ethereal structure to please right away
Domaine Tempier
France | Provence | Bandol
With this chewy, fragrant cuvée, something garlicky cooked over coals will do just fine.
Lionel Faury
France | Northern Rhône | Collines Rhodaniennes
The depth, complexity, and crushed-stone minerality of a great Côte-Rôtie, all while maintaining inviting youthful fruit.
Domaine Régis Bouvier
France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
Classic Burgundian Pinot Noir aromas and flavors, and a deeply fruited and solid core.
Jean Foillard
France | Beaujolais | Beaujolais-Villages
Silky and seductive, with notes of rose petals, red berries, and stones.
A. & G. Fantino
Italy | Piedmont | Barbera d’Alba
While full-bodied, its gentle tannins barely make an impact as it glides effortlessly over the palate.
Domaine Giacometti
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Our best value in Patrimonio offers notes of game and herbs over chewy tannins.
Villa Di Geggiano
Italy | Tuscany | Toscana IGT
Is it possible for a country quaffer to originate under a grand Renaissance villa? This Tuscan red certainly offers evidence in favor of that paradox.
La Soeur Cadette
France | Beaujolais | Juliénas
With loads of fresh Gamay fruit, it flows over the palate with a juicy buoyancy that simply makes it hard to resist.
Domaine Les Pallières France | Southern Rhône | Gigondas
Selected By Kermit Lynch
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc
The 2019 vintage is over half Syrah, giving it lots of smoky dark fruit and a toothsome meatiness.
Domaine de Fontsainte
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
This grippy rouge comes from Domaine de Fontsainte’s most famous parcel called “La Demoiselle,” planted in 1904.
Domaine de la Tour du Bon France | Provence | Bandol
Château La Roque
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc Pic Saint Loup
