The wine region of Côte-Rôtie
Mythical cru of the northern Rhône with vertiginous slopes: signature Syrah as king red (≥80%) co-fermented with up to 20% Viognier — deep robe with signature aromas of violet, raspberry, blackberry, black olive, smoked bacon, black pepper and a leather touch, fine tannins and signature aromatic finish. Structured Côte Brune (schists) and floral Côte Blonde (granites). AOC (1940), ~300 ha of terraces on Ampuis, ages 10-30 years. Historic cradle of the northern Rhône.
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: VDQS
Delimited wine of superior quality. A level of appellation (today, barely 1% of French production) which constitutes the ultimate step before the accession to the AOC.
