The tannin here acts like a thread holding all the lifted raspberries, red plums and spiced herbs together. Perfect with fancy company, or confit duck, and big heart-warming vegetables.

Domaine de Ferrand Chateauneuf du Pape 2021

Equal parts Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Carignan come together in this beautifully balanced rosé. Fruit for this wine underwent both fermentation and elevage in a mix of barrique and demi muid (barrels typically used in the Rhône Valley) and has resulted in a vinous rosé that's so easy to love.

Romain le Bars Lirac Rosé 2022

Pierre Amadieu Gigondas Romane Machotte 2021

This is a beautifully balanced Rhône blend made by an all-organic co-op, sitting on the more approachable end of the spectrum for the region. Fresh dark berry notes and lingering sweet baking spices are in perfect harmony in the glass here, backed by some brambly tannins. Grill something tasty, drink this and have yourself a very nice night in!

Domaine les Genestas Les Vignerons d'Estézargues Côtes du Rhône-Villages Signargues 2020

Sumptuous Muscat from Domaine des Bernardins, an icon of the Beaumes de Venise appellation (and they even helped create the AOC!). (375ml) 15.0% ABV

Domaine des Bernardins Muscat Beaumes de Venise 2021

From vines that are 55 - 95 years old, this CdP is traditionally made and was left to mature in cask for 18 months. Fresh and fruity on the nose with the full spectrum of black cherry, plum and orange essence. The tannin here is soft, while the acidity is firm so it’s primed for pairing with Saint-Marcellin or some creamy chèvre.

Bois de Boursan Chateauneuf du Pape 2020

Grown on gently undulating French slopes that are about 200m above sea level–where we’d rather be! This baby is a baby Châteauneuf-du-Pape, so expect some subtle complexity and a profile that’ll have you thinking about, and savouring, flavours of mulberry, liquorice, plum and a violet-y floral character.

Romain le Bars Pousse Caulloux 2022

Made entirely with Ugni Blanc—or Trebbiano as we call it around these parts—in the Southern Rhône. A fantastic wine to drink alongside a feast set outdoors on a sunny day, it's textural with fantastic length and it just gets better as it opens up in the glass.

Romain le Bars Le Clau Blanc Blanc 2022

A glorious Southern Rhône red made up of predominately Grenache and equal portions Mourvedre and Cinsault. Fruit underwent two weeks of carbonic maceration before élevage in an even split between barriques and vats. The result is a wonderfully aromatic wine that shows structure, freshness and elegance in the glass.

Romain le Bars Lirac Rouge 2022

This could be the kind of bottle that kept Van Gogh awake and content while painting the stars over the Rhône. It’s a bottle of French summer with all its apricot, stone fruits, ripe pear and just enough bitter melon. Oh, and we love that gorgeous straw-gold hue!

Domaine Font du Vent Les Promesses Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2021

Château de Beaucastel Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2021

Red and black fruits, plum, and plenty of French-style herbs and spices come together in the glass for a perfect winter red. Merveilleux!

Pierre Amadieu Cairanne Les Hautes Rives 2020

You can feel the warmth and richness of the vintage—sitting in the more plum-fruited and liquorice flavour spectrum with firmer tannins—almost as if the Syrah is making its voice a little more heard. It's a delicious glass of wine and one that's waiting for its invite to this weekend's BBQ.

Mont-Redon Reserve Côtes du Rhône 2021

Les Maoù Vaste Programme 2021

Who doesn't love a Rhone blend? After checking the gas bottle's full enough, crack this open. As you get further into the bottle and onto your second plate, a bit of that white pepper spice and plum skin will integrate, and that deeper cherry will come to the fore. Tres chouette!

Pierre Amadieu Côtes du Rhône Roulpierre Rouge 2021

Tour Saint-Michel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Deux Sœurs 2019

A fresh and textural blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. Aromas of apple blossom and aniseed, with white orchard fruits, citrussy acidity and silky texture. Delicious on its own as an aperitif, but it goes particularly well with a bit of seafood or goat's cheese.
