Wines of Rhone & Provence

- Sub Regions
The Rhone Valley is usually divided into north and south, but apart from the river itself, it is difficult to see similarities between the two regions. In the north, steep limestone and granite hillsides plunge down to the river. Here only one red variety, Syrah, is permitted. For white wines, Viognier is used to make Condrieu, Marsanne and Roussanne in St Joseph and Hermitage. The northern Rhone is home to elegant, complex Cote Rotie, muscular long-lived Hermitage and Cornas and less grand but hugely appealing fruit-rich Crozes Hermitage and St Joseph.
The south is more Mediterranean in character, with vineyards interspersed with olive groves, fruit orchards and lavender fields. Here by far the majority of wine is labelled as the ubiquitous Cote du Rhone. The great value quality wines of the area come from the villages of Gigondas and Vacqueyras, while the most famous village in the south is, of course, Chateauneuf du Pape.
