Founded in 1779, the house designated this release as a \"Grand Vin\" and a special selection, which was bottled directly in their own cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from the Rhône Valley in southeastern France, a region with a viticultural history dating back to Roman times. The valley is geographically divided into two distinct sections: the northern part, characterized by steep slopes where Syrah is prominently grown in areas like Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, and the warmer southern sector, known for Grenache-based blends culminating in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a Côtes du Rhône, this wine belongs to France's second-largest AOC, a status the area achieved in 1937. This expansive regional appellation covers the entire Rhône Valley, spanning 171 municipalities across six departments from Vienne in the north to Avignon in the south. The terroir is highly diverse, featuring soils that range from northern granite to southern limestone, clay, and pebble gravel. While the appellation produces white and rosé wines from varieties such as Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Viognier, it is predominantly focused on red wines based on Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, often supplemented by Cinsault and Carignan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antonin Bourgeois","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57417061335366,"sku":null,"price":210.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1340_55894c73-f37f-48f3-9854-1fa1e35baf1e.jpg?v=1789995287","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/cotes-du-rhone-ant-bourgeois-1966","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
