CĂ´tes du RhĂ´ne is the name of the large Appellation d’Origine ContrĂ´lĂ©e (AOC) covering a large section of France’s RhĂ´ne region. Although CĂ´tes du RhĂ´ne wines can come from the north or south part of the RhĂ´ne valley, most of the value-priced wines are made in the south and this region was awarded in 2010 “Wine Region of the Year”.
For the month of June we will be celebrating the CĂ´te du RhĂ´ne region of France with special tastings in our shops, free draws, price reductions on selected wines and free glasses with six bottle purchases.
Some say the CĂ´te du RhĂ´ne is a perfect pizza wine others use it to turn a bland dinner into a bit of an occasion. But this is what you really should know: CĂ´tes du RhĂ´ne is a wine that is great value, food friendly, earthy and delicious whatever the occasion.
Wines from the region are very versatile with food whether you are eating red or white meat, pasta, pizza, fish or roasts, the reds when tasted with food become a fruity, spicy sauce in a glass.
We have two new CĂ´te du RhĂ´ne Villages wines stocked for the month of June these show great a depth of flavour, great complexity and aging potential of about three to six years.
So call into your local shop for a taste, we look forward to seeing you.
