Côtes du Rhône
Southern French red
Côtes du Rhône is a French wine region in the Rhône Valley, and the wines produced there.
The appellation covers a large area in southeastern France, producing predominantly red blends—typically Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre—along with smaller quantities of white and rosé.
We ordered a bottle of Côtes du Rhône with the lamb.
The wines are generally affordable and food-friendly, making them reliable everyday choices.
