A tiny property in the Southern Rhône produces this big wine. Brash, powdery dark fruit abounds in this Grenache-based red.

Rhône

Prestige in the north, value in the south: that’s the quick version of the Rhône story. Southern village appellations produce a dizzying stylistic range of delicious wines, while the prices for northern “trophy” bottles can be dizzyingly high.
