Rhône Red Wine

Bright, warm and full of ripe bramble fruit – all we look for in a Ventoux – but also with Mediterranean spice and liquorice. 

A delicious red Rhône and a long a favourite of the Guide Hachette des Vins, Hugh Johnson, Robert Parker and ours. Grenache, syrah and just a touch of mourvedre.

A great example from Saint-Gervais - one of the best Côtes-du-Rhône Villages. A blend of ripe syrah and grenache and is gloriously rich and jammy.

Everyday-drinking Côtes-du-Rhône reds don't get much better than Vidal-Fleury's GSM. Then again, their 250-years-plus experience of making wines among the great Rhône appellations, it's hardly surprising.

A savoury Côtes du  Rhône Villages marked by expressive notes of violets and peony. The palate is round with bright fruit underlined by sweet spice.

Fine everyday drinking red, named after the Besnardeau three daughters from one of Robert parker’s favourite vineyards.

Made from old grenache vines (with a little syrah and carignan) close to Cairanne, talented young winemaker Bruno Long’s Mas des Roches is a delicious example of how really good ...

From this up-and-coming producer a sensational Côtes du Rhône village and for us, one of the best value wines to be found in all the Rhône valley. Very Châteauneuf.

Full of rich, vibrant fruit, and is of such quality that one might easily mistake the cuvée for a good Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Here's an outstanding Vacqueyras with complex flavours of ripe, blackcurrant fruit, strawberry jam and hints of spice. Smooth and rich on the palate, with soft tannins. 

Domaine les Grands Bois was recommended to us as the best local grower by the owner of the best bistro in Cairanne, itself the best of the 21 Cotes-du-Rhone villages.

Rasteau, with cairanne is the best of the 21 Cotes-du-Rhône Villages. Small fourth generation family growers Marc and Mireille Besnardeau's grenache, syrah and mourvedre Rasteau is a favourite of ours.

Gigondas is the greatest of the smaller appellations in the southern Rhône and Christian Meffre of Château Raspail makes one of its best wines.

Richer still, this wine is grenache, syrah and mourvèdre, and ages beautifully. Marc and Mireille Besnardeau of Domaine Les Grands Bois are fourth generation small family growers who have been ...

A shining example of just how far Crozes-Hermitage has come in showing true finesse. Here, Colombier capture a purity of fruit and harmony of flavours to stunning effect.

Founded in 1781, Vidal-Fleury is located in the midst of the Côte-Rôtie vineyards in the Northern Rhône, and is the oldest continuously operating wine producer in the Rhône Valley.

Our latest find is from Le Jas des Papes in Courthézon - acquired by Michel Audibert in 2014, whose family had previously been winemakers in Provence for a century.

Exemplary Cotes-du-Rhone Villages from Sinargues and wonderful with the heartier dishes enjoyed when days are colder and nights longer. Roasts, stews, cassaroles - a perfect match.
