ABOUT CÔTES DU RHÔNE RED BLENDS

Côtes du Rhône is one of France's most renowned wine regions, known for its distinctive red blends that highlight the diversity and quality of Southern Rhône winemaking. This historic appellation runs along the Rhône River from Lyon to Avignon, featuring diverse terroirs that produce complex, food-friendly wines. The traditional blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, often with Cinsault and Carignan, results in wines with notable depth and character. Grenache adds ripe red fruit and warmth, Syrah provides structure and spice, while Mourvèdre offers earthy complexity and aging potential. The Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, helps these grapes reach ideal ripeness while maintaining balance. Côtes du Rhône wines are known for their approachability, versatility in pairings, and great value, embodying the essence of Southern French winemaking.
