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.

Tasting the bottle, one quickly sees winemaker Cyriaque Rozier’s statement that Malvasia has “acclimated perfectly to the land of La Roque” is not an overstatement.

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.

The vines have been soaking up Mediterranean sunshine for the past century and a quarter, and they give it all back in each toothsome, rosemary-scented sip.

You will be surprised how well this dessert wine will pair with toasted almonds, bleu cheese or nice dark chocolate.

This vinegar is particular because it’s made with sweet wine, which confers a very unique taste.

A remarkably graceful rouge from one of our favorite appellations in southern France.

Fadat’s bottlings from this terroir have proven to be among the most complex and elegant wines of southern France.

June Club Rouge ~ This stylish cuvée of mostly Grenache captures France’s Mediterranean in all its fragrant glory.

Savory and floral, with bright accents of orange zest, it soars over the palate with grace and finishes with a freshness reminiscent of cool stone.
