Côtes-du-Rhône

Rosé
Located in the southern part of the Rhone Valley, close to Avignon. The very first people who have planted vines in the area were the Greeks and the Romans. In 1650, the first regulations for quality and origin protection were edited. In 1737, an Edict from the King of France imposed that all barrels for sale should be fire-marked with the letters "C.D.R.". The fame of the appellation increased in 1937 with the creation of the appellation.
