Decades ago, Isabelle and Matthieu planted a little bit of Cabernet Franc as a curiosity more than anything else, but Kermit liked it so much we’ve imported it ever since.

Thanks to the vines’ elevation and crucial cool nighttime temperatures, her blend of Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Clairette, and Viognier delivers plenty of character and refreshment.

Decades ago, Isabelle and Matthieu planted Mourvèdre on southeast-facing terraces, using cuttings from exceptional Bandol vineyards, forming them into stumpy, gobelet-trained vines. Today, Noémie treats them with the reverence they deserve and crafts a robust, soulful, and exquisite rouge with notes of dark fruit, spice, and leather.

Made mostly from Syrah—with a splash of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault—this cuvée is all about the terroir. Along with soulful, dark fruit, you can taste the stoniness in the wine. Cool it down, decant it in any kind of vase you have handy, and serve it the next time you fire up your grill.

If you’re a fan of Jura’s vin jaune or fino and manzanilla sherry, find yourself a new friend in this rare bottling from Ludovic Engelvin.

Equal parts Grenache, Carignan, and Mourvèdre, this boasts all of Maxime’s trademark elegance and silkiness.

Evaporation over time has concentrated the wine, giving it considerable strength to go with its trademark rancio aromas of walnuts and brine.

Grenache (gris and blanc) gives this cuvée impressive body and grip while Vermentino and Macabeu lend it freshness and lift.

Showcasing impressive texture and flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and spring flowers, this offers a great pairing for grilled fish or seared scallops.

Valinière is a monumental demonstration of what happens when respectfully working the earth is not just a job, but one’s whole life.
