There’s something for everyone in the Rhône Valley. And there’s definitely something for everyone in this fine offer from Mr Wheeler: a dozen different wines from one of the region’s finest producers: Etienne Guigal.
Goodness these wines are good and so well-priced! When I last looked, Majestic was offering the Côtes du Rhône Rouge for £12.99 a bottle (£10.99 if you mix six). It’s available here at just £10, along with 11 other first-rate wines that you would struggle to find available all under one roof, particularly at these cut-to-the-bone prices.
I love the Rhône. It’s neither as snooty as Bordeaux, with its poncey châteaux, manicured lawns and gently crunching gravel drives (and bonkers prices), nor is it as neurotic and single-minded as Burgundy with its solo-varietal wines, fragmented vineyard ownership and overly complicated classification system (and bonkers prices).
The region, home to the vine since Roman times, has everything: reds, whites, rosés, sparklers and delicious sweeties.
