Description
?????The Rhône Valley was awarded World best wine-growing region of the year in New York in 2011. Discover the history, geography, physiognomy and taste of the appellation Rhône coast and valley.Covering the wines route that stretches along the Rhône from Lyon to Languedoc and Provences borders is not only an oenology journey through one the most prestigious vineyards, but also an historical trip in the heart of the oldest French vineyard. It also nearly stands as an ethnologic approach of vine growers, who have shaped the landscape and passed on their know-how since the Ancient world, while creating a unique lifestyle and gastronomy. The vine, clung to the slopes or stretching out on alluvial and shingle lands, cannot be separated from the river. Its wines, red, white or rosé, are joined into two great appellations: the Côtes du Rhône and Rhône Valley labels of origin. In fact, every terroirs and vintages ought to be mentioned to show the great diversity of these wines from the Rhône-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côte dAzur and Languedoc Roussillon regions: château-grillet, condrieu, cornas, côte-rôtie, crozes-hermitage, hermitage, saint-joseph, saint-péray, beaumes-de-venise, châteauneuf-du-pape, gigondas, lirac, rasteau, tavel, vacqueyras, vinsobres, clairette-de-bellegarde, costières-de-nîmes, côtes-du-vivarais, luberon, grignon-les-adhémar, ventoux. Over the last decades, the Rhône vine growers have won back their vineyards spurs: their wines are exceptional vintages.A message that has been passed on by a dozen of prestigious chefs and their wine waiters: Patrick Henriroux, La Pyramide, Vienne- Jacques Bertrand, Les Cèdres, Granges-les-Beaumont- Michel Chabran in Pont-de-lIsère, Anne-Sophie Pic in Valence- Guy Jullien, La Beaugravière, Mondragon- Christian Etienne in Avignon- Raoul Reichrath, Le Grand Pré, Roaix- Eric Sapet, La Petite Maison, Cucuron- Michel Kayser, Alexandre, Nîmes - and Guy Savoy in Paris.
