Our selection of the must-try appellations of the Rhône Valley

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Vacqueyras and Gigondas: The power of the South

These three appellations share a distinctive terroir, often marked by the famous rolled pebbles. In Châteauneuf-du-Pape , the focus is on historical complexity, with its 13 possible grape varieties producing wines with deep aging potential. Gigondas , at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, is distinguished by its wild power and notes of undergrowth. Finally, Vacqueyras often offers a more approachable profile in its youth, while retaining an elegant tannic structure and aromas of black fruit and licorice. These are the cornerstones of the sun-drenched wines of the Rhône Valley.

Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph: Syrah in all its splendor

In the northern part of the valley, Syrah reigns supreme, expressed as a single varietal on granite slopes.Crozes-Hermitage is the quintessential appellation for its luscious character: vibrant fruit, notes of black pepper and violet. Saint-Joseph , on the other hand, offers more structured and mineral wines, with a tension that appeals to lovers of fine wines. These are prime terroirs for those seeking freshness and precision in the heart of the valley.

Côtes du Rhône Villages: Cairanne, Rasteau, hidden gems to discover

Less publicized but delicious, Côtes du Rhône Villages wines, such as Rasteau or Cairanne , represent the heart of our "pleasure" selection. These are balanced blended wines, faithful reflections of the valley's generosity, perfect for all convivial occasions.

Which grape varieties are the signature of the Rhône Valley?

The Rhône is the realm of characterful grape varieties. For reds, the winning trio is Syrah (structure and spice), Grenache (roundness and fruit), and Mourvèdre (color and aging potential). For whites, the region is distinguished by rare grape varieties: Viognier , famous for its notes of apricot and honeysuckle, but also Marsanne and Roussanne, which bring richness, creaminess, and aromas of white flowers and honey.

What is the aging potential of wines from the Rhône Valley?

Most Rhône Valley wines can be enjoyed young, for their fruitiness. This is particularly true of Côtes du Rhône and Luberon white wines. However, some bottles fall into the category of wines meant for aging, such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which can be cellared for over 30 years.
