Northern Rhône
Continental
Steep granite terraces above the river, where Syrah makes some of France's most savoury, age-worthy reds and Viognier its most fragrant whites.
Genel bakış
Northern Rhône hakkında
The Northern Rhône is a narrow, fragmented stretch of vineyards between Vienne and Valence, clinging to steep slopes above the river. Syrah is the only red grape, and the appellations — Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage — each make it in a distinct style. Whites include Condrieu, from Viognier, and Marsanne and Roussanne wines from Hermitage and Saint-Joseph.
The terrain is so steep that many vineyards are cultivated by hand on stone-walled terraces, and the production is small, which keeps prices high for the best wines.

İklim ve terroir
İklim
Continental
Continental, cooler than the south, with cold winters and warm summers. The Mistral blows down the valley, and steep south-facing slopes are vital for ripening Syrah.
Terroir ve topraklar
Asmaların yetiştiği zemin
Granite and schist, with gneiss in Côte-Rôtie and loess, sand and limestone in places. The rocky, steep terraces drain well and store daytime heat.
