Rhône
What connects the breathtaking 4,000-meter peaks in the Valais with the steep vineyards of Hermitage? The same river winds through both landscapes. The Rhône is 810 km long, originating south of Lucerne at the Rhone Glacier and, as the most water-rich river in France, eventually flowing into the Mediterranean at a delta near Arles. The wine-growing region of the same name is the oldest in France, with just over 60,000 hectares spread along 200 kilometers of riverbank in both the northern and southern Rhône.
Northern Rhône
The finest wines, which can compete with great Burgundies and Bordeaux, grow in the northern part, which accounts for only 5% of the wine production (and of that, the AOC Crozes-Hermitage contributes around 50%). Famous appellations line up: Côte Rôtie, Château-Grillet, Condrieu, St. Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Cornas, Saint-Péray. Most of them are located on the right bank of the Rhône. The only permitted red grape variety is Syrah. Among the white varieties, the very popular Viognier, the robust Marsanne, and the delicate Roussanne dominate. Trading houses have a long tradition here: Nearly half of all wines are bottled by houses such as Delas, Jaboulet, Chapoutier, and Guigal.
