This is the wine to bring to the vegetable garden! It has a beautiful rich mineral palate while still maintaining the light spring freshness you crave on a hot summer day. Like any proper Languedoc blend you should chill this one down and enjoy it outside in the sunshine.
Philippe’s red Cahors wines are known for their deep, earthy fruit and longevity in the cellar. His rosé is the polar opposite–fresh, elegant, and seriously drinkable for hot summer days. With bright pink fruit and notes of spicy black pepper, you won’t find a better deal on small-production pink wine.
A blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and 10% Muscat de Hambourg (Black Muscat) grapes. The winemaker’s minimal intervention in the vineyard and cellar, plus the unique limestone and red clay soils, deliver revealing wines. The Muscat gives this a touch of sweet fruit, but by no means is this a sweet wine.
Chemins de Bassac VdP Cabernet Sauvignon Le Champs des Maures 2019
Bruno and Thama moved to France to escape the fast paced lifestyle they were living in Brazil. They took over Les Chemins de Bassac in 2019. This wine is from 15 years old vines on limestone and clay originating from ancient Quaternary alluvial terraces at around 100 m altitude. It has soft spices, dry tannins, and dark fruit: an easy-going Southern-style red for all occasions.
This wine translates to “the Postman’s Vineyard,” referring to winemaker Serge Scherrer’s first job as a mailman, before obtaining his first vines of Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah, of which this wine is made. It’s a sweet tribute to his humble beginnings, with red fruit, pepper, and leather on the palate.
The wines of Domaine Barral are many things: wild, deep, contemplative, funky, even animal. They are all the product of biodynamic viticulture, whole cluster fermentation, and minimal intervention. They are endlessly delicious and intriguing. Enjoy this Faugères for its dark fruit, earth, and slight funk.
Maxime Magnon is a first-generation winemaker who cares about preserving old, natural winemaking techniques. Studying under Jean Foillard before settling in Corbières, he gained knowledge and skill that has led him to tremendous success. Ripe fruit and playful texture make this rosè a total knockout.
Nestled in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, you can find the vineyards of Sylvain Fadat known as Aupilhac. The Mediterranean location of these vines leads to lots of southwest sun exposure, producing juicy and electric wines. This white blend makes you feel like you’re in a field of flowers surrounded by buzzing bees.
At Domaine Leon Barral, crafting beautiful wine and cultivating a living breathing ecosystem within the vineyard go hand in hand. Didier Barral is one of the most holistic and detail-oriented vignerons out there. His wines are immensely powerful, age-worthy, and complex.
A collaboration between Domaine Leonine and Fifi’s Imports, Domaine Bascule strives to produce wines that are both naturally made and affordable. This juicy Grenache blend employs carbonic maceration for light and vivacious drinkability while maintaining deep dark fruit flavors. Enjoy this wine with your next steak dinner.
Maxime Magnon is one of the natural wine movement’s most exciting stories. He studied under the estimable Jean Foillard in the Beaujolais, then stumbled upon the treasure of century-old Carignan vines in the Languedoc. His Rozeta is high-toned and mineral, with silky, herb-laden fruit.
