Rhone Valley is one of the most ancient regions in the world in terms of grape vine cultivation and wine production. With most historians saying that Rhone Valley was first planted in its Northern section around the first century, it is easy to taste the history within every lively sip of wine from this area.
Perhaps the top Rhone Valley wines are its exquisite reds, particularly its beautiful and full Syrahs. After the Syrah, Rhone is also a major producer of light, refreshing Rosés and many beautiful, unforgettable blends like Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rhone Valley also has a great selection of white wines.

WE8888 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2020 Watermelon and red cherries perfume this massively fruity, forward blend of Syrah (70%) and Grenache (30%). A bold expression of rosé it throbs with juicy, primary red fruit, but a crush of minerals and bright tangerine acidity keeps it bright. The finish is marked by a touch of warmth.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

WE8787 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2020 Smoke and crushed mineral tones accent ripe black cherry and preserved plum on the nose of this Grenache-based rosé made from both red and white grapes. Black-fruit flavors on the palate are concentrated, muted by hints of earth and dried herbs. The finish is edged by fine tannins and a touch of heat.

RP91+91–93 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Oct 2019 The 2018 Lirac Via Secreta includes a healthy 40% Mourvèdre, with the rest of the assemblage evenly divided among Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah. While the nose is subdued, with just hints of cherries and mint, the palate is full-bodied, ripe and expansive, framed by silky tannins. It’s almost creamy, yet vibrant at the same time, with a fresh, zesty finish.WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/31/2020 Loads of violet and lilac perfume accent fresh, primary blackberry and plum flavors in this irresistibly fruity blend of Mourvèdre (40%), Cinsault (20%), Grenache (20%) and Syrah (20%). It’s not a deeply complex wine but voluptuous and immediately likable. Fine, feathery tannins and a touch of minerality linger on the finish. Ready now but should hold through 2024.
JD88+88–90 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - August 16, 2019 A blend of 60% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvèdre, the 2018 Côtes Du Rhône Reserve reveals a vivid purple color as well as impressive notes of black and blue fruits, ground pepper, and wild herbs. It’s round, supple, and polished on the palate, with beautiful fruit. It’s an impressive Côtes du Rhône.RP87+87–89 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Aug 2019 The Perrins manage all of the vineyards used to source this wine, which include Vinsobres for Syrah (20%), Orange (Prébois) for Grenache (60%) and Saint-Maurice for Mourvèdre (20%). Cherries and raspberries ride on a medium to full-bodied palate, backed by a plump mouthfeel and silky tannins on the finish. The 2018 Cotes du Rhone Reserve will be ready to drink on release, but it should hold up for at least 3–4 years after that.
JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, August 24, 2020 Pretty dark berries, chocolate, tar and some grilled meat on the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied with round, lightly chewy tannins. Delivers lots of typical Rhone flavors and goodness. Drink now. Screw cap.RP8888 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 The 2019 Cotes du Rhone Belleruche offers up an enticing mix of blueberries and black cherries, accented by hints of cracked pepper, licorice and dark chocolate. It’s medium to full-bodied, with a broad feel in the mouth and supple tannins on the softly dusty finish. Pretty satisfying stuff for the modest price you’ll pay (probably around $15 when it hits the U.S. market).JD8888 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - October 6, 2020 Always a good value, the 2019 Côtes Du Rhône Belleruche is ideal for readers looking for a terrific house red that won’t break the bank. Revealing a purple/ruby hue as well classic peppery Provençal aromas and flavors, it’s medium-bodied and has a solid spine of acidity, moderate tannins, and a crisp, clean finish. Enjoy bottles over the coming 2–3 years.
JD9898 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 11/19/2020 While not submitted to my tasting (and it wasn’t presented from barrel last year), it would be hard to imagine there won’t be a Les Vieilles Fontaines cuvée. Don’t miss a chance to buy a bottle if you find one. Moving to the 2018 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes, this beauty is cut from the same cloth as the Les Chailles yet is deeper and richer, with another level of concentration. Black and blue fruits, ground pepper, violets, smoked game, and loads of spring flower notes define the bouquet, and it has a vibrant, almost old school vibe that carries plenty of power yet still stays light and elegant on the palate. This beautiful, singular wine is open and enjoyable today, yet I wouldn’t be surprised to see it close down with a year or two of bottle age. It should see its 20th birthday in fine form.VN9595 pts. - Vinous - Apr 2020 Opaque ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet displays powerful aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, incense, peony and olive paste. Palate-staining blackberry, boysenberry, fruitcake and floral pastille flavors deepen steadily on the back half. Gains weight and sweetness with air, finishing with a jolt of smoky minerality, sneaky tannins and outstanding persistence.RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 13th May 2021 The 2018 Cornas Vieilles Vignes blends fruit from some of the top lieux-dits of the appellation: Combe, Patou, La Côte, Les Mazards and Chaillot. Aged 20 months in approximately 15% new oak, it’s a dark, inky-hued wine, but one that retains bright, fresh fruit notes of red raspberries and plums alongside hints of cedar and menthol. It’s full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with a firm, granitic structure and sense of restraint, fine-grained, almost silky tannins and tremendous length.SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Feb 28, 2021 Dark and winey, with lots of steeped black cherry, plum and blackberry fruit forming the core while light sweet tapenade, rosemary and mineral notes streak through on the finish. Vivid, energetic Cornas. Best from 2022 through 2036. 1,350 cases made, 128 cases imported.
RP90+90–94 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Oct 2018 Loaded with cassis and blueberry fruit, the 2017 Gigondas Tradition les Grands Montmirail is full-bodied and supple, yet it seems nearly weightless on the palate; that’s how easy it is to drink already. Silky and long, this is lovely stuff for drinking over the next 7–8 years. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2020 Translucent ruby. Smoke-accented cherry and dark berry aromas, along with suggestions of licorice and pungent flowers. Taut and energetic on the palate, offering bitter cherry, cassis and floral pastille flavors and a spicy snap of cracked pepper. The smoky note repeats on the persistent finish, which is framed by youthfully chewy tannins.
WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2021 Tasted in January 2021, this wine still shows an abundance of sun-kissed, red-plum and black-cherry flavors nuanced by shades of char, crushed earth and smoked cedar. Vibrantly fruity yet statuesque and grounded, it lingers on a flurry of ripe, integrated tannins. Delicious now, the wine will continue to improve through 2030 and hold longer still.JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, October 11, 2019 A fresh, dark-cherry and stone nose with attractive purity of fruit here. The palate has a very succulent, quite grainy and deeply ripe feel with a super rich, concentrated and bold serving of ripe dark plums and blackberries. Tar to close. Impressive. Drink or hold.RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 19th Dec 2019 Baking spices, cola and raspberry notes all appear on the nose of the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape. It’s full-bodied and velvety, folding in hints of French roast and dark chocolate on the lingering finish. It should drink well for a decade or more.JD9292 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 12/12/2019 Lots of lavender, garrigue, peppery herbs, and rocking dark fruits emerge from the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. With medium to full body, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish, it’s unquestionably an outstanding wine. It’s already hard to resist yet will benefit from 2–4 years of bottle age and cruise for a decade.
RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 The 2019 Cotes du Rhone Blanc is 50% Grenache Blanc, 15% each Bourboulenc and Clairette and 10% each Roussanne and Viognier, all grown on sandy soils. Orange and lime notes dominate the nose of this plump, medium to full-bodied white, which adds hints of melon and apricot on the mid-palate, then finishes citrusy and refreshing.JD9090 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - October 6, 2020 A beautifully done white from this estate, based on 50% Grenache, 15% Clairette, 15% Bourboulenc, and the rest Viognier and Roussanne, the 2019 Côtes Du Rhône Blanc carries a light gold color as well as a rocking bouquet of honeyed peach and stone fruits intermixed with plenty of floral and spicy notes. Medium-bodied on the palate, with good acidity, it’s another balanced, incredibly classy wine from this estate to enjoy over the coming 2–3 years.
