The wine region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Pinnacle of great southern Rhône reds, up to 13 blended grapes: signature Grenache as king — powerful and structured with notes of black cherry, kirsch, garrigue, leather, tar and sweet spices, firm tannins when young and gamey complexity with ageing. Deep Syrah, dense Mourvèdre and supple Cinsault complete it. Rare full whites (Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne) with almond, anise, honeysuckle notes. Legendary AOC (1936), rolled pebbles, mistral and sun.
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: Assemblage (Champagne)
In Champagne, it is the art of blending still wines from different grape varieties (pinot meunier, pinot noir, chardonnay), from different terroirs (villages, areas) and often from different years. The incorporation of older wines, called reserve wines, allows for greater aromatic complexity.
