Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.

The Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.

La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on a graceful and lively frame.

The blend is equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette. Together, they create a wine that has a complex mouth-feel that finishes with a nice refreshing acidity.

This refreshing blend of Chardonnay and Viognier brings aromas of fresh sun-kissed peaches and cleansing rainwater.

A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit.

Serve this one cool, from a carafe, with a plain old burger—generously seasoned with herbes de Provence.

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

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

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