About Rhône Valley
The Rhône wine region of south-eastern France is split into two parts. In the north, reds are made from Syrah, sometimes with a little white grape, and whites from Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier. The south makes red, white and rosé, often blended from several grapes, as at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Côtes du Rhône is the largest appellation by volume. Vines were probably first planted around 600 BC, and DNA research shows Syrah originated in the Rhône itself. Wine production grew again when the popes moved to nearby Avignon. Tavel, a rosé-only appellation, is one of the south's distinctive crus.
