The valley is geographically divided into two distinct parts: the northern section characterized by steep slopes, and the warmer southern area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCôtes du Rhône is a large regional appellation that encompasses the entire valley, stretching across 171 communes in six departments from Vienne in the north to Avignon in the south. Granted Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée status in 1937, it stands as France's second-largest AOC. The terroir across this expansive area varies dramatically, featuring everything from granite soils in the north to limestone, clay, and pebble gravel in the south.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe appellation produces red, rosé, and white wines, with a strong emphasis on red production. These are typically based on Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, supplemented by Cinsault, Carignan, and other permitted grape varieties. This 1966 Appellation Contrôlée release was historically distributed in Italy by CONAL, based in Turin, who served as the exclusive importers and general agents for the Italian market.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Claude Mercier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57340710584646,"sku":null,"price":1400.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1083_76b97d6f-a3c6-4a78-947c-2f61ef0c735f.jpg?v=1789123038","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/cotes-du-rhone-claude-mercier-1966","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
