Master of Wine and Rhône expert Alistair Cooper visited the Rhône Valley this autumn twice on your behalf to taste the latest vintage that will be coming on the market in the coming months.
We’re presenting his vintage reports and hundreds of wine reviews here over the next two weeks, beginning in the northern Rhône – Côte Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas, St-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage (see this World Atlas of Wine map) – before heading south to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Beaumes-de-Venise, Cairanne, Laudun (promoted in 2024), Lirac, Rasteau, Tavel and Vinsobres as well as the Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône-Villages and neighbouring appellations of Costières de Nîmes, Luberon and Ventoux (see this map).
