Côtes du Rhône
See Côtes du Rhône producers See a list of Côtes du Rhône wines
Classified in 1937, Côtes du Rhône is an enormous appellation encompassing red, white and rosé wines covering an area of 40,300 ha and producing a crop that is 3 times larger than Beaujolais and almost as much as Bordeaux. Although this wine can come from across the Rhône region, more than 90% comes from the south. With the honourable exception of those produced by famous northern names like Jaboulet and Guigal, the finest examples are made in the south.
Red wine dominates, made with a minimum of 40% Grenache (except in the north where Syrah is allowed to be top dog) normally partnered by Syrah and/or Mourvèdre; another 18 varieties are also permitted. Typically light and fruity, the best examples can be rich, spicy and full-bodied. Almost all are best drunk young.
Quality varies from the very ordinary to the exceptional. Much is produced by cooperatives but the best come from the increasing number of individual estates and Châteauneuf-du-Pape producers like Beaucastel who produce premium entry wines here. White and rosé Côtes du Rhônes account for only 2% and 4% respectively, although both can be very good.
Recommended Producers : Ferraton, Chave, Chapoutier, Vins de Vienne, Andre Romero's La Soumade, Boudinaud, Beaucastel

The failsafe combination of old vines, skilled winemaking (courtesy of Serge Remusan) and semi-precipitous vineyards (at over 280 metres) was unlikely to falter in a year such as 2007, a year when conditions were close to ideal and when the harvest was collected under an unusually gentle and balmy ...

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Mon Coeur gets better year by year. In 2008 Jean Louis has imposed an almost Northern structure, aided no doubt by the use of both Grenache and Syrah fruit from the steep slopes of the pretty village of Séguret. The wine is elegant and with a pleasing lick of pepper at the finish. Drink ... MORE | ||||

2007 is seen by many as the best vintage in the Southern Rhône since 1990; some go even further back, citing the very greatest of years such as 1947. This is immediately clear from the bright deep colour, then the harmonious nose which marries spice, pepper and hedgerow. The palate ... MORE | ||||
