Black as night and totally irresistible: Rex Mundi is a decadent, lip-staining discovery. Made from wonderfully intense Grenache and Syrah grapes grown on craggy peaks in southern France, this devilishly tempting red wine is crafted by the talented Hervé Sabardeil.

It was way down in those inhospitable rocky hills (back in the Middle Ages) that the Cathars lived in awe of the evil god of chaos, Rex Mundi. He corrupted the faithful with promises of earthly pleasures...you’ll succumb, too, after one sip of this dark, spicy red. Look forward to intense blackberry, black cherry and plum, underpinned by peppery spice notes. This is a big, bold, concentrated wine, with velvety tannins and a long finish.

Here’s how the prestigious Gilbert & Gaillard wine guide described a previous release (which they awarded a gold medal):

“Charming nose showing a line-up of red fruits, morello cherry and fine spices. Full-bodied, velvety palate accompanying the appetizing fruit with a touch of softness.”

Rex Mundi hails from the Pays d’Oc—one of the oldest wine regions in France, which traces its history back to the fifth century. Its wines offer fruit-rich flavors and a distinct freshness, thanks to the warm sunshine and cool Mediterranean breezes that help grapes ripen to perfection. Rex Mundi is a classic example. This deep, dark red demands an equally rich food pairing. Serve it alongside flavorful meats—from saucy barbecue ribs to roast rack of lamb to your favorite cut of steak, stews and chilis.

And at this price, it really pays to give in to temptation. Order your share today.
