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.

Truly classic Vieux Télégraphe, deep and powerful as usual, yet showing great finesse and class, almost an ethereal quality.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

**Extremely limited quantities, maximum two bottles per purchase.**

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