Vinous Nicolas Greinacher - 28 Mar 24
The 2022 Ermitage Le Pavillon is as dark as a moonless night. Swirling the glass unlocks pronounced graphite, ripe black fruits, crushed violets and a jolt of espresso. Medium- to full-bodied and layered, the 2022 is shaping up to be a terrific Le Pavillo

Rhone Vineyard Valley of Fine Wine

Rhone

The Rhône Valley in southeastern France is famed for its diverse wines. It's divided into Northern Rhône, known for Syrah-based reds and white wines from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne, and Southern Rhône, which features blends like Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Northern Rhône wines, such as Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, are intense and complex, while Southern Rhône's Châteauneuf-du-Pape is known for powerful, spicy reds. Top producers include E. Guigal, Domaine du Pegau, and Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, exemplifying the region's rich winemaking tradition.
