An integral part of the production cycle of Côtes du Rhône and Cru wines, the eaux-de-vie (grape-based spirits) of Côtes du Rhône are recognized by two geographical indications. One recognizes the Marc des Côtes du Rhône, or Eau-de-vie de marc des Côtes du Rhône, which comes from the distillation of grape pomace. The other is the Fine des Côtes du Rhône, or Eau-de-vie de vin des Côtes du Rhône, produced directly from the distillation of wine. These two spirits can also bear on the label the name of a Cru appellation of Côtes du Rhône, if the pomace or the wine from which they are made comes exclusively from said appellation.
