The Soard brothers consistently turn out some of the best value wines in the southern Rhône Valley. And the star of the group has to be their dark, rich and admirably concentrated Beaumes-de-Venise "Yvon Soard". Composed of 50% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 15% Mourvèdre, it is sourced from the estate's oldest plots, most of which contain vines averaging over 80 years of age. It's a fierce, yet complex and engrossing wine that throughly satisfies our cravings when they turn toward the southern Rhône. Certified organic.
