"This is always one of the most distinctive wines in the appellation, with garrigue, lavender, smoldering tobacco and roasted chestnut notes driving to the fore, backed by dense layers of roasted fig, mulled currant fruit and hoisin sauce. The long, pebbly, iron-filled finish is simultaneously chewy and racy."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
