Tales of the riverbank

Forming a corridor between the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, the Rhône Valley extends over six French departments : Ardèche, Drôme, Gard, Loire, Rhône and Vaucluse. The region draws its strength from this rich and powerful river, which shapes its landscape and moulds its character.

The wines grown between Vienne and Avignon, bordered by the Massif Central, the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea, draw their strength from the sun and caressing wind, and from the determination of the region’s many wine-growers to produce quality wines while respecting the environment. These wines, crafted and inspired by a wide range of grape varieties and terroirs, give pleasure to wine-lovers in all parts of the world.

The grape varieties used in the production of Rhône Valley wines

37 grape varieties.  That’s the number of grape varieties used to make Rhône Valley wines. In the north, Syrah reigns over reds while Viognier and Marsanne dominate whites.
In the south, Grenache noir is blended with Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault to create reds and rosés. Whites are gracefully produced using Grenache blanc, Clairette, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.
Recently, Marselan, a new grape variety, entered the composition of reds.
