Southern France covers a sweep of landscape and culture that resists easy definition. From the rugged schist of Roussillon to the limestone terraces of the southern Rhône fringe and the garrigue-covered hillsides of Provence, what unites the wines we select from this part of the country is a commitment to native varieties and natural farming. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault grown in soils that impose genuine character.

These are not wines made to a formula. They are the product of specific places and specific people, and they reward the same attention that collectors bring to the great estates further north.
