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

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.

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A crisp rosé, and very refreshing, but there’s plenty of soul and expressiveness here, too.
