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.

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

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

This Gigondas—densely concentrated and deeply opaque—is more refined than meets the eye.

This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.

Rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries, and then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

If Télégramme is more about fruit than stones, it is still undeniably Châteauneuf, expressing the nobility of carefully farmed Grenache from the Rhône’s finest terroirs.

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.

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