The wine region of Côtes-du-Rhône
Accessible reference for Mediterranean reds: dominant Grenache as king (≥50% in the south) - supple and fruity with notes of cherry, strawberry, garrigue, pepper and a touch of sweet spices, round tannins. Fleshy Syrah (blackcurrant, violet, black pepper), dense Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan in support. In the north, racy, deep Syrah solo. Generous rosés and floral whites (Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Viognier).
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Solera
A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
