The wine region of Rhône méridional

Sunny, Mediterranean southern Rhône, kingdom of Grenache Noir.

Blended with peppery Syrah, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Flagship crus: Châteauneuf-du-Pape on rolled pebbles (powerful, age-worthy), Gigondas, dense Vacqueyras, fleshy Tavel rosé, sweet muscat Beaumes-de-Venise.

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: Rebêche (champagne)

Must obtained in excess of the 2 550 litres authorised for a weight of 4 000 kilos of grapes. The first 2 050 litres constitute the cuvée and the next 500 litres the taille. The rebêche represents 1 to 3 % of the total volume and must be distilled or used to make ratafia.
