The wine region of Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages
Higher tier of the southern Rhône: generous, structured reds dominated by Grenache (fruit, warmth, roundness), Syrah (colour, spice, elegance) and Mourvèdre (depth and ageing) — ≥66% of the trio. Aromas of ripe black fruits, pepper, liquorice, garrigue and leather with age. Also some lively rosés and whites on Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Viognier. Excellent value between Côtes-du-Rhône and prestige appellations, from everyday to medium ageing.
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: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
