Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde

2000 years ago, the appellation was known as « Vitis Vienna ». Appreciated by the Romans, these wines were also among the preferred ones on Royal tables. In 1890, the vineyard reaches its peak, but successive crisis such as the phylloxera spread, WWI, the 30s crisis, deeply impacted the vineyard’s development. The 1980s mark the renewal of the vineyard. Côte-Rôtie is the northernmost appellation in the Rhône Valley. The slopes, which can reach up 60°, are located on the right bank of the river Rhône, between 180m and 325m of altitude. We can find up to 20% viognier blended with Syrah in a bottle of Côte-Rôtie.
