The Rhône, From North to South
January 20, 2026
The Rhône Valley splits into two distinct worlds. The Northern Rhône is all about Syrah grown on steep granite slopes — structured, peppery, age-worthy reds.
The Southern Rhône is warmer and broader, where Grenache leads blends that are generous, sun-warmed, and built for the table. This is the home of estates like Domaine des Favards and Deleuze-Rochetin.
If you love bold but balanced reds, the South is a perfect place to explore — and excellent value.
