Culled from vineyards across the southern coast of France, this light-bodied and easygoing dry red is meant to be consumed by the Mediterranean. Even if you aren't there physically, you can dream of it with some olives, cured meats, and excellent bread. A blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan, this is dark fruit forward with a hint of something savory.

Staff Pick Notes

In addition to their Ecocert certification and use of sustainable materials, Souleil: Vin de Bonté puts part of their profits towards protecting the biggest resource we have here on the planet - the ocean! Founders Marianne (an oyster enthusiast) and Thomas (a kitesurfer) support four distinct foundations based in Costa Rica, the U.S., France, and Mauritius, all of which host beach cleanups, plastic upcycling programs, and ocean preservation education. Pour a glass of Le Rouge (Grenache/Syrah/Mouvedre blend) and enjoy crunchy black fruit, white pepper, and chillable acidity - while knowing you're giving back to an important cause.

More About This Wine

Grenache

The Grenache grape (a.k.a. Grenache Noir) produces relatively pale, fruity red wines that often stop just short of sweetness. Grenache is familiar to most wine drinkers as an ingredient in the blends of the Rhône and Languedoc-Roussillon, where it can add charm to varieties that are a little rougher around the edges. The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...

Mourvèdre

Known as Mataro in California and Monastrell in Spain, Mourvèdre can produce bold, tannic, highly alcoholic red wines. They usually show no shortage of fruit as well, and the best examples keep it all in perfect balance. Rhône-style blends are cropping up all over the world, and one of the classic tried-and-true combinations is "GSM," or Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre. The "M" contributes focus and fleshy character to blends - but Mourvèdre also shines on its own as a varietal wine.

Syrah

We'd like to clear this up once and for all: the Shiraz grape is genetically identical to Syrah. Australian winemakers put "Shiraz" on the map (and, many would argue, vice versa), and the term is now used throughout much of the New World. Let it never be said, however, that Shiraz and Syrah are the same thing: the region in which the grape is grown determines much about the flavor of the wine it will produce. Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...
