An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.

Just in the mood for a splash of red? A half-bottle of perfectly mature VT will transform the occasion!

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

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.

This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit. Have an ice cream maker? This wine makes the best sorbet you’ll ever taste!

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

Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.

The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.

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