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

Durban does here what they do best, keeping the focus and precision of the terroir as well as loads of fruit and pleasure.

Full-bodied yet delicate, infused with the joie de vivre of the south of France.

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.

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

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

Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.

This bears a rich bouquet of wild strawberry, flowers, garrigue, and sweet spices, culminating in a long, stony finale.

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

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