Mazan, France
Château La Croix des Pins
Château La Croix des Pins gives Mazan a grounded southern Rhône stop: organic farming since 1998, wines across Ventoux, Gigondas and Beaumes-de-Venise, and tastings in a renovated 16th-century Provençal country house. The appeal is not spectacle, but the chance to read Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail and a multi-appellation estate through one cellar door.
