FRANCE : SOUTHERN RHÔNE : GARD ORGANIC : Merlot, Syrah MED-BODIED, FRESH CHERRY, DARK PLUM, GARRIGUE, NO OAK Sébastien Chatillon arrived at winemaking the long way around: punk rock bands in Normandy, four years apprenticing at Domaine Mosse in the Loire, seven years as head sommelier at Le Chateaubriand — the Paris restaurant that ranked among the World's 50 Best — before finally landing in Vallabrix in the Gard in 2016 to start Ad Vinum. Les Arcs is his most pleasurable expression: Merlot and Syrah, organically farmed, whole-cluster vinified and bottled with zero additions — no sulphites, no fining, no filtration. Serve with a slight chill. PAIRINGS : Grilled lamb chops Syrah's savory edge stands up to the char Mushroom risotto earthy depth matches the garrigue note Charcuterie board bright fruit cuts through cured fat cleanly
