The Mourchon wines have arrived... They beat the tariffs and are better than ever!
We’re thrilled that our latest French container included our long-awaited order from Domaine de Mourchon! Their Loubie Rosé remains our top-selling and most requested rosé by far—and the entire range is absolutely stellar. Bravo to Mourchon’s talented winemaker, Sébastien, and the whole team!
Nestled in the charming hamlet of Séguret, Domaine de Mourchon is owned by the wonderful and charismatic Walter McKinlay and his daughter Kate. We can’t recommend a visit highly enough—the vineyards sit high in the appellation, offering breathtaking views of Mont Ventoux. Walter helped put Séguret on the map years ago, and the quality has only continued to rise, thanks to a first-rate winemaking team and outstanding terroir.
We’re proud to have been among the very first to import Mourchon to the U.S.—we’ve been bringing in these wines since 2003. These direct imports represent some of the best values in wine today. Trust us: you can’t go wrong with a bottle (or better yet, a case!) of Domaine de Mourchon.

2022 Domaine de Mourchon - Gigondas (750ml)
Mourchon's very talented winemaker, Sébastien, is a Gigondas native and knows everyone in the village. A few years ago, I mentioned to him that I wished Mourchon made a Gigondas, and he told me he'd be happy to craft one for us using a secret source from one of his vigneron friends. I thought he was joking—until a sample arrived. Fantastic stuff! And he still won't tell me where he sources it from... It's obviously someone very good.
