A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.

Leydiers at Domaine de Durban are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style.

A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit.

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.

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

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

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

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

It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.
