There are a wide range of different winemaking regions across the world, all committed to producing great quality wines for drinking and storage. Many of these can be found in France, with Côtes du Rhône located to the coastal south. In this post, we’ll be delving into wines from this region so you can ascertain whether or not they are a good choice for personal and corporate gifting, or to enjoy personally among friends.
When considering the quality of a Côtes du Rhône wine, there are four levels that have been established to help group wines. These are:
Being the second largest appellation in France, there is a fantastic variety when it comes to Côtes du Rhône wine. Most reds will feature Grenache, Syrah, and Morvèdre grapes as they are easily grown in the warm conditions. This contributes to a strong structure and intense colour, along with notes of spice and chocolate. Meanwhile, white wines are typically made using Clairette, Grenache blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, and Viognier grapes.
The range of flavours, textures, and appearance makes Côtes du Rhône fine wine particularly well suited to corporate wine gifts. By including one or two bottles in wooden wine gift boxes for example, you’ll be going the extra mile for the people that have helped get your business to where it is.
