Mas des Bressades 2008 Roussanne-Viognier (Vin de Pays du Gard)

  • Editors' Choice
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $19
Filled to the brim with bold upfront fruit--peaches and pears tinged with honey and truffle--the chief possible complaint is a certain lack of subtlety (who really needs it?). Fades a little quickly on the finish, but still represents good value. Drink now.  — J.C.  (4/1/2010)

Mas de Guiot 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Vin de Pays du Gard)

  1. $14
The dark color tells you right away this is no ordinary vin de pays. Then you sniff it and get cedar, black currants and blackberries. The finish has juicy acidity and dusty tannins, suggesting a couple years’ cellaring may be warranted. Impressive.  — J.C.  (3/1/2001)

Domaine de la Mordorée 2007 Re:NAISSANCE Merlot-Marselan Rosé (Vin de Pays du Gard)

  • Best Buy
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
Made from a 50-50 blend of Merlot and Marselan, this budget-priced entrée to the wines of Domaine de la Mordorée features lovely spice and leather shadings and a wonderfully silky, medium-weight texture in the mouth. Let’s hope that the Delorme brothers can expand this production without compromising quality.  — J.C.  (10/1/2008)

Domaine de Saint-Antoine 2010 Rosé (Vin de Pays du Gard)

  • Best Buy
  1. $11
AA tremendous value, this rosé is plump yet fresh and vibrant, with raspberry and cherry fruit accented by hints of white chocolate and spice. Ideal for al fresco dining this summer.  — J.C.  (8/1/2011)

Domaine des Cantarelles 2010 Rosé de Fayel (Vin de Pays du Gard)

  1. $12
Slightly herbal in character—not surprising given that it’s 70% Cabernet Franc, an unusual variety for the Gard. Those leafy notes persist from start to finish, balanced out hints of peach and raspberry. Easy to drink.  — J.C.  (8/1/2011)
