  • 2018 Harvest Report for M. Chapoutier Rhône Valley
    > 2018 HARVEST REPORT FOR M. CHAPOUTIER RHÔNE VALLEY 2018 – an unexpected annus mirabilis! Who would have predicted that this 2018 vintage would cause such joy and rank among the remarkable Rhone Valley vintages that have come one after another since 2015? The year has produced some originality, primarily the Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie and Ermitages wines whose flawless maturation offer an ode to Syrah. At the start of 2018, we steeled ourselves for the vagaries of the year’s weather, convinced that the run of good vintages would be broken. So, we braced ourselves for Nature’s whims to strike during the wine-growing season and subject us to strenuous work right through to the end... In the end, an understatement, for over and over again we really had to dig our heels in. Early winter… The rain arrived just in time to replenish the water stocks depleted in 2017. It brought relative mildness for a month of January and set a new tone – with 110 mm already recorded… The Méal plot was pruned on 18 January, followed by other sectors, and the pruning sealer. At this time of year we usually explore the bare hills to identify which walls need rebuilding, which water runnels need maintenance and which vine stakes need changing. That leaves us enough time to decide on forthcoming planting projects, schedule the old terraced vines removal and prepare the slope for the next generation: the transmission. At long last February arrived and the temperatures turned wintery, dropping to -8°C in Tain l’Hermitage. Spring on the horizon, things got going… slowly: growth seemed unmoved and spring was dragging its feet.

  • Rhone Valley Southern France’S Rhône Valley Is One of the Most Prominent Areas for Red Wine Production in the Country
    STAFF TRAINING MODULE Rhone Valley Southern France’s Rhône Valley is one of the most prominent areas for red wine production in the country. Over 100 million gallons of wine are produced in the region annually, spanning the spectrum of quality from the inexpensive bistro fare of Côtes-du-Rhône to the powerful and emblematic wines of appellations like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte-Rôtie, and Hermitage. 1 The Region n total, more than two dozen AOCs lie along the Rhône river’s path, but they Imay be conveniently grouped into two categories: the appellations of the Southern Rhône and those of the North. The two regions produce red wines that are distinct from one another, but the appellations within each region generally fall into a similar profile of style. White wines from either region are rare; collectively, 95% of the valley’s vineyards are planted with red varieties. From its headwaters in Switzerland, the Rhône river flows southward through France toward the Mediterranean coastline; the waterway has been an impor- tant vein of trade for over two millennia, and today it connects the cities of Lyon, Vienne, Valence and Avignon with the sea. Winemaking along the Rhône river has an equally long history, dating to the era of the Roman Empire: Pliny the Elder’s description of the resin-flavored vinum picatum produced in the hillsides near Vienne is preserved in the writer’s Natural History. Over a thousand years later, Pope Clement V moved the Roman Catholic papal seat from Rome to Avignon, and legend suggests that a knight returning from the Crusades built a small chapel on hill overlooking the river.
