Rhône

About this region

The Rhône Valley is two French wine regions in one. The Northern Rhône (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas, Saint-Joseph) is Syrah's spiritual home, producing peppery, structured reds from steep granite slopes, plus iconic whites of Viognier (Condrieu) and Marsanne-Roussanne. The Southern Rhône is warmer and broader, dominated by Grenache-led blends including Châteauneuf-du-Pape with its famous galets roulés stones, plus Gigondas, Vacqueyras and the value-rich Côtes-du-Rhône category. The region is one of France's most generous and food-friendly origins.
