The Rhône is one of the classic French wine regions. It starts in central France, just south of Lyon, stretching almost to the Mediterranean Sea. The wine world makes a distinction between the Northern and Southern Rhône, both unique, each with different geography, climate, soils and grape varieties, but one thing in common – the Rhône River.Generally speaking, Northern Rhône reds made with Syrah are big, bold, spicy wines with a firm tannic structure in their youth, while Southern Rhône red blends are based mainly on Grenache and have rounded, warm, red fruit flavors.
