One of the demanded red wine regions in France is the Rh\u00f4ne! The Valley is starting south of Lyon and is continuing along the Rh\u00f4ne River until Provence.<\/p>\n
Due to its notable length, it has varying soils, expositions, micro-climates and varieties.<\/p>\n
The north is home to appellations such as Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, St-Joseph, Cornas and features Syrah as its sole red grape. Its whites include Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.<\/p>\n
In its southern half of the Rh\u00f4ne, the wines are notably different. The vineyards are hotter, flatter and composed of different soils and varieties, such as Grenache, Mourv\u00e8dre, Cinsault and Carignan as well as the ubiquitous Syrah. The resulting wines such as Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape, are rich and robust with lots of character and warmth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6969″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
