Côtes du Rhône

The Côtes-du-Rhône appellation is a regional appellation, covering 171 communes along the Rhône River, from Vienne to Avignon. The main grape varieties are Syrah and Grenache for red wine , and Marsanne and Roussanne for white wine , but there are 21 in total.
This wine-growing region has existed since antiquity: the Romans built Vienne to support the creation of the vineyard. Initially, it was the vineyard on the right bank that constituted the Côte du Rhône : the left bank was added in the 19th century, and the appellation became Côtes du Rhône .
