PRODUCT INFORMATION
Pliny the Elder and Plutarch celebrated the wines of this region, calling them ‘The wines of Vienne’. The first references to Côte-Rôtie go back to the 6th century. The reputation of this wine grew during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, being served on many princely tables throughout Europe. The fame of the wine region reached its peak in 1890. Phylloxera and the First World War almost caused it to disappear. It reemerged in the 1960s under the enthusiasm of enterprising wine- makers convinced of the appellation’s potential. The appellation covers 283 hectares, stretching from the south of Lyon on the right bank of the Rhône and over three communes: Saint-Cyr sur Rhône, Ampuis, Tupin-Semons.
