If there were a Hall of Fame for French bistro reds, Poignée would be a first-ballot inductee—vibrant and classy, it’s the southern France counterpart to our favorite Morgons.

Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.

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

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

A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.

Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.

July Adventures Club ~ Ripe red berries and fine tannin make this Tavel an ideal match for a bistro burger with fries or a charcuterie and cheese plate.

July Adventures Club ~ Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.
