New Rhône Arrivals
Some of our favourite southern Rhône estates have finally landed after way too long away. They are rated among the very best of the appellation and always offer fantastic value for money, not to mention the critical reviews that set them apart from their peers.
Côtes du Rhône is a huge appellation in the south of France encompassing 40,300 ha. Plenty of white and rosé wine is produced in Côtes du Rhône but there can be no doubt that red is king. Usually Grenache will dominate the blend (except in the north where Syrah is allowed to be top dog, but these wines are relatively few) and is normally partnered with Syrah and/or Mourvèdre but a further 18 varieties are also permitted!
A cheap and cheerful example might be light, soft, fruity and easy-drinking, while the finest examples may be full-bodied, concentrated, intense, spicy and ageworthy. But what they all invariably have in common is a fabulous sense of place and lashings of personality and character. In this sense, our Côtes du Rhônes are frequently among the very best value for money wines we have on offer.
