About this Item

93 x 37 cm. Printed in colours, indicating the regions and quality of the wine produced. Excellent condition. Côte Rôtie is a prestigious red-wine appellation at the northern tip of France's Rhône Valley wine region. The Syrah vines on its steep, south-east-facing slopes produce wines which are both powerful and elegant. Improvements in quality have led to increases in demand for the wines a cycle which turned so consistently that Côte Rôtie wines are now some of France's most sought-after and most expensive. Crozes-Hermitage is an appellation of the northern Rhone valley in France. It covers a relatively large area on the eastern bank of the Rhone river, to the north and south of Tain L'Hermitage town. Much larger than the prestigious Hermitage appellation which it surrounds, Crozes-Hermitage is also much more prolific. In 2011 almost 70,000 hl of wine were produced and sold under the Crozes-Hermitage title more than the other seven northern Rhone appellations combined. The French wine maps by Louis Larmat from the Burgundy region of France, dating back to the 1940s, offer a unique insight into the wine culture of the region.
