Bassins Direct Import — we discovered this wine ourselves from the Grézan winery, located in Faugères in the south of France, and brought it in exclusively.
A fresh, juicy southern French red made for everyday drinking. Bursting with ripe red berries, black cherry, and a touch of garrigue, this smooth, medium-bodied wine is easygoing yet full of character. Soft tannins and bright acidity make it incredibly versatile.

Elegantly peppery, the 2022 Côtes du Roussillon Bastide Miraflors evokes aromas of dark berries, spices, flowers and ripe cherries. Moderately weighted, round and supple, it's textured with structured tannins and a long, ethereal finish. There's no reason...
This is the most important wine of the estate, a serious red vinified to reflect its capacity to age. The grapes are harvested at a point of slight “surmaturité” which captures the profound scents and flavors of the surrounding hillside “garrigue”. The cuvaison continues for at least a month; then, the wine is racked into tank for aging. The wine is bottled twenty to twenty-four months after harvest. As the wine ages in bottle, it develops enticing notes of juniper, rosemary and thyme as well as the savory flavors of wild berries and a hint of the “animal” … all in all, one of the more compelling values in our portfolio.
