2002 La Passion d'une Vie Côtes du Roussillon ($30) The aromas in this blend of Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre suggest the wild Mediterranean herbs that grow on the hills behind the vineyards of this southern French appellation.

2003 Le Sauternes de ma Fille ($35) Made from old-vine Sémillon, this Sauternes (named for Magrez's daughter Cécile) is rich yet not unctuous, with notes of white flower and citrus.

2003 La Bienvenida Mendoza ($39) Made from the fruit of ancient Malbec vines on Magrez's Argentine property, this brilliant crimson wine gains its creamy texture from time spent aging in new French oak.

2003 La Sérénité Pessac Léognan ($75) For this silky, finely structured micro-cuvée, Magrez blends roughly equal parts of Cabernet and Merlot from a vineyard just outside the city of Bordeaux.
