Rhône recipe

Designation for a cuvée that is typical of the French regions of Rhône and Languedoc-Roussillon. For red wines, these are the varieties Syrah, Grenache Noir (Garnacha Tinta), Mourvèdre (Monastrell), Cinsaut, Carignan Noir (Mazuelo) and others. The Cinsaut variety is very often the main ingredient in rosé wines. For white wines, the main varieties are Grenache Blanc (Garnacha Blanca), Marsanne, Rolle (Vermentino), Roussanne, Viognier and others.

However, the number and proportion of grape varieties varies from appellation to appellation. A group of winegrowers in California also favours these grape varieties and is therefore known as the Rhône Rangers. Another typical blend of grape varieties in France is the well-known Bordeaux blend.
