Southern Rhône
Whilst the vineyards of the north cling to the river, the South is a much more spread out affair. The head of this broad church is undoubtedly the legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but with exploration comes excitement from names such as Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and the Ventoux. The South is also home to the majority of ‘Côtes du Rhône’ wines, a vast category where picking the right producer is the key to discovering some of the most user-friendly, versatile and best value wines out there.
