Comment on Côtes du Rhône – Everyday Blends by Nancy

Hi Mimi

Well…you might think so from reading my post, but technically no. Côtes du Rhône is an AOC designation with the least restrictive requirements that applies to wines made within the Rhone Valley. These wines do not qualify for Côtes du Rhône-Village, Côtes du Rhône Village + Village name, or Cru AOC classifications. Châteaneuf-du-Pape is in the Cru AOC which is the most restrictive and presumably the highest quality.

I will update the post. Note to self: be more careful with words.

Does this mean that a Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a cotes de Rhone?
