The Rhone is one of France's foremost red wine regions, following the river of the same name through the south of the country. WineFortune tracks 12 red wines from 9 producers here; 8 of them sit in the WineFortune price index and 9 are listed in the shop.
The northern Rhone is Syrah country: steep granite terraces in Cote Rotie, Hermitage and Saint-Joseph yield structured, peppery still reds. The south, under a warmer Mediterranean climate, blends Grenache with Syrah and Mourvedre, most famously in Chateauneuf-du-Pape with its stone-covered vineyards. Every wine tracked here carries an AOP designation and is a still red.
The WineFortune index — built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days — puts the region's median at €403 per 75 cl bottle. The strongest name on the index is E. Guigal's Cote Rotie La Landonne at a median of €466.5, with La Mouline and La Turque both at €403. Critics rate the tracked wines highly: 12 reviews average 96.5 out of 100, with a top score of 98, and the median drinking window runs from 2025 to 2040.
