Dive into the grapes

Rhône Varietals

American Rhône-style wines are made from the same grapes that have flourished for centuries in France’s Rhône River Valley. The French government recognizes 22 varieties in the various appellations that comprise this diverse wine-growing region.

Rhône Appellations (Côte Rôtie, Hermitage, Condrieu, Châteuneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Bandol, Côtes du Rhône and several others) each choose a subset of Rhône varietals that they consider their grapes. 

Grape of the Month

To help you know your Bourboulenc from your Grenache Blanc—and beyond—each month we highlight one of the 22 official Rhone grape varieties.
