Tasting Notes: Cheer up! This single-varietal Carignan is here to cozy up to chilly nights with its juicy, plummy warmth. According to Vincent, this cuvée is a “pure Carignan reflecting the cold place where it grows. It is picked just mature, giving it a dark and stony nose.” A beautifully structured, medium-bodied red that will take you from Thanksgiving to the holidays and all the way through the coldest months of the year. If you’re looking for creature comforts look no further. Cue a fireplace, some flannel, a couple domesticated animals and a bottle of this wine.

Tasting Notes: The biggest, grandest of the Les Maoù line-up is this blend of late-harvested and semi-carbonically macerated Carignan and Aubun — bursting with ultra-ripe red berries and dark plums, but balanced with freshness and a beautiful tannic structure on the finish. This is sure to be one of the best wines to warm your soul
