MASTER PIECE – Can’t Go Wrong with Rhône – By Igor Ryjenkov MW

2024, Article, Cellar 313, France, Rhone, Wine Education /

Igor Ryjenkov MW asserts that Rhône wines, with their bridge between New and Old World styles, are an excellent choice for varied palates. Accounting for the second-largest French wine region, they feature generous fruits, softer acidity and tannins, and 94% of the volume is produced in the South. The unique climate, ranging from continental in the North to Mediterranean in the South, and the diverse grape varieties, particularly Syrah in the North and Grenache in the South, define their signature style. With a history shaped by Romans and Popes, and a pioneering role in the AOC system, Rhône remains notable for its finesse and growing organic viticulture.
