THE REGION
The Rhône wine region in Southern France is situated in the Rhône valley and produces numerous wines under various Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) designations. The region’s major appellation in production volume is Côtes du Rhône AOC.
The Rhône is generally divided into two sub-regions with distinct vinicultural traditions, the Northern Rhône (referred to in French as Rhône septentrional) and the Southern Rhône (in French Rhône méridional). The northern sub-region produces red wines from the Syrah grape, sometimes blended with up to 20% of white wine grapes, and white wines from Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier grapes. The southern sub-region produces an array of red, white and rosé wines, often blends of several grapes such as in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
The Cheron Family has been making wine for five generations. Low yields, minute care in the vineyards, harvesting by hand, a rigorous selection of the bunches, exacting vinification and aging in temperature-controlled cellars, all combine to emphasise the fruit and concentration of each wine and the individuality of each terroir.
