Where it comes from
Rhône Valley, France
Rhône Valley (Vallée du Rhône) follows the Rhône river through southeastern France and splits into two distinct halves with very different personalities.
Grenache Blanc
Grenache Blanc is a white grape, the pale-berried cousin of red Grenache, with roots in northern Spain, where it goes by Garnacha Blanca.
Roussanne
Roussanne is a white grape from France's northern Rhône, often partnered with Marsanne to make some of the region's most distinguished whites.
Viognier
Viognier is a white grape from the northern Rhône Valley in France, long the signature of the tiny appellation Condrieu and a variety that came close to disappearing before a revival spread it far beyond its Rhône home.
Clairette
Clairette is a white grape long grown in the south of France, including the southern Rhône and the wider Mediterranean coast.
