producing vineyards along the River Rhone. Louis Larmat ca. 1943. 93 x 37 cm. Printed
in colours, indicating the regions and quality of the wine produced. Excellent
condition. Côte Rôtie is a prestigious red-wine appellation at
the northern tip of France's Rhône Valley wine region. The Syrah vines on its
steep, south-east-facing slopes produce wines which are both powerful and
elegant. Improvements in quality have led to increases in demand for the wines
– a cycle which turned so consistently that Côte Rôtie wines are now some of
France's most sought-after and most expensive. Crozes-Hermitage Wine
Crozes-Hermitage is an appellation of the northern Rhone valley in France. It
covers a relatively large area on the eastern bank of the Rhone river, to the
north and south of Tain L'Hermitage town. Much larger than the prestigious
Hermitage appellation which it surrounds, Crozes-Hermitage is also much more
prolific. In 2011 almost 70,000 hl of wine were produced and sold under the
Crozes-Hermitage title – more than the other seven northern Rhone appellations
combined. [24711]
