Recognized with AOC status in 1937, it stands as France's second-largest AOC. The terroir is highly diverse, featuring soils that range from northern granite to southern limestone, clay, and pebble gravel. The Rhône Valley itself is geographically divided. The northern section is characterized by steep slopes where Syrah is cultivated in areas like Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, while the southern part is known for a warmer climate where Grenache-based blends are prominent, particularly in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis specific vintage is crafted from a blend dominated by 75% Grenache, a variety widely cultivated in the Rhône, Southern France, and California, originally known as Garnacha. The composition is supported by 10% Syrah, a blue grape also known as Shiraz that is prominent in the Rhône as well as in Australia and Washington. Additionally, the wine includes 10% Carignan and 5% Cinsault, both of which are Mediterranean varieties frequently grown across Southern France and California.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grands Vins Sélection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57238575579462,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/767BA971-8DB6-4091-8944-7D1F7EF86153.jpg?v=1788341120","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/cotes-du-rhone-lescarpe-2007","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
