The town of Beaumes-de-Venise, in the heart of the southern Rhne, is best known for its ravishing dessert Muscat, a local specialty famously praised by Pliny the Elder. But this is Grenache territory, and Beaumes-de-Venise also produces delicious reds from these gentle, sunbaked slopes covered withgarrigue. Although the town enjoys cru status in the same way as Chteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, its red wines are generally softer and more approachable in their youth, with surprising aging potential thanks to the significantly concentrated fruit and structure. Priced far below its prestigious neighbors, Beaumes-de-Venise also represents a fabulous value.
At Domaine de Durban, an ancient farm now run by the Leydier family, Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvdre to create this delightful everyday red scented ofherbes de Provenceand ripe black cherry. Durbans specialty is their ability year in and year out to make reds that are dense, full, rustic, and incredibly drinkable all at once. Aged in neutral oak, the 2023 vintage is deep and robust with soft and fuzzy tanninsthe perfect companion to pozole, burgers, pizza, or grilled meats.
