Rhone River Cruise- Do Not Miss The Opportunity<\/h1>\n

\"Rhone<\/a>A wine-growing Appellation d’Origine Contr\u00f4l\u00e9e (AOC) for the Rh\u00f4ne wine region of France, C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne may be used throughout the region, also in those areas which are covered by other AOCs. In a limited part of this long narrow region, the AOC C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne-Villages may be used, in certain cases together with the name of the commune.<\/p>\n

The Cotes du Rhone appellation was introduced in November 1937 with the purpose to provide a catch-all title for Rhone wines of admirable quality, but which come from less well-known viticulture areas. The Cotes de Rhone- Villages appellation is way ahead from this, being given to those communes that show particular viticulture qualities.<\/p>\n

C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne stands for the basic regional red, ros\u00e9 and white wines covering the length and breadth of the Rhone Valley in eastern France generally dominated by Grenache (reds and ros\u00e9s) or Grenache blanc (whites).<\/p>\n

A Well Known Wine Town- Rhone River Cruise<\/h2>\n

C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne is such a well-known wine, almost a synonym for a not-too-fancy French red. Still the fact remains that few wines can match C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne in exemplifying the countless changes which have brought a revolution in the French wine industry in the last 20 years.<\/p>\n

At the most exacting level of distinction, a total of 16 crus are permitted to be recognized by their village name without requiring the mention of C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne on the label. With the distinctive exception of Ch\u00e2teau-Grillet, a white septentrional within the AOC Condrieu, a feature of the nomenclature of CDR wines is that at the top level they are named only after their villages, and not after ch\u00e2teaux as usually happens in the case of Bordeaux wines.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the fact that it does not share the honour associated with Rhone’s more famous names (such as Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Cote Rotie and Hermitage), the Cotes du Rhone title stands for some very fine wines indeed. Often you will find that your fine Cotes du Rhone comes from a particularly dedicated winemaker whose vineyard happens to be justoutside the boundaries of the famous appellations.<\/p>\n
