Château Beaubois 2009 Harmonie Red (Costières de Nîmes)
- Cellar Selection
- $25
Château Beaubois’s top cuvée, this blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache is aged in 450-liter casks for 14 months prior to bottling, yet it doesn’t seem oaky at all. Instead, it’s herbal, jammy and savory all at once, with lovely spice notes and substantial tannins on the finish. Drink 2013–2020.

Château Beaubois 2010 Expression Rosé (Costières de Nîmes)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This is a crisp, Syrah-based rosé, with some passion fruit on the nose, but then ripe berry flavors on the palate. It’s plump and medium-bodied, yet finishes with a zing of refreshing acidity. Drink now.

Château Beaubois 2009 Confidence Red (Costières de Nîmes)
- $18
Unlike most Costières de Nîmes, this is 95% Grenache, giving it a round, expansive mouthfeel and soft tannins. Warm baking spices complement black cherry fruit. Drink now–2015.

Château Beaubois 2009 Expression Red (Costières de Nîmes)
- $15
Meaty and savory in style, with Syrah clearly playing a big part in the blend (70%; the other 30% is Grenache). This wine delivers authentic Southern Rhône Syrah flavors of asphalt, tapenade and espresso, devoid of any overt wood, remaining firm on the finish. Drink now–2014.

Château Beaubois 2009 Elegance Red (Costières de Nîmes)
- $16
Although this is aimed at a slightly higher target than Beaubois’s entry-level Expression cuvée, it comes across as just slightly more tannic, with a fine balance of blackberries, olives and earth on the midpalate but a touch of coarseness to the finish. 80% Syrah, 20% Grenache. Drink 2012–2015.

Château Beaubois 2010 Expression White (Costières de Nîmes)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This blend of Rolle (Vermentino), Viognier and Roussanne is fresh and floral, with a lean, crisp feel that acts to rein in the citrus blossom and melon notes. Drink now.
