Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

The blend is equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette. Together, they create a wine that has a complex mouth-feel that finishes with a nice refreshing acidity.

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

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

We aimed for maximum drinkability: plenty of hedonistic purple-tinged fruit, along with a hint of wild herbs and lovely lavender and violet notes.

The 2022 vintage drinks like something even more ethereal than you’d expect from a southern red.

This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.

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

This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for grillables.

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.
