Just Arrived From the South of France

For years, southern France was the wine world’s best-kept secret. Great wines in every conceivable style - white, pink, red, bubbly, and sweet - are made here, and the region has always been an excellent source for undiscovered wine values.

As the weather cools down, we’re most interested in the red wines. In southern France, reds are often blends of several grapes, but it is possible to find the rare single-variety treat (like the impressive Poudou Carignan below). Incredible bubbly is commonplace here, and lately we’ve even rediscovered Muscat: in fact, the sweet and lovely little bottle below is our favorite apéritif right now.

This is a big region, and there’s a lot to explore - so just dive in! We chose these bottles because they are perfect examples of the wonderfully varied, consistently tasty wines of southern France. Try any of our picks below and you’ll be glad you’re finally in on the secret.

Carignan, Poudou - 2008 (750 )

Red, France, Languedoc-Roussillon, Coteaux de Peyriac

In France, the red Carignan grape is typically used in blends. This is a rare monovarietal Carignan bottling, and it clearly expresses the classic profile of this ancient grape. The wine is unoaked, full-bodied, and dry, with aromas of dark berries and ripe, rustic tannins. This is a food wine that is meant to be drunk with meat, or any number of other rich foods.
