Rhône 2012 Vintage Report: "disarmingly charming" a very good vintage




2012 was a very good vintage in the Rhône Valley. Whilst 2012 itself was a very challenging year for many of the other French regions, the most of the Rhône appellations enjoyed stabile and dry weather particularly during the summer months, with just enough rain in crucial periods to avoid water stress and encourage growth. The majority of the outstanding winemakers featured in this offer rated their 2012 red wines higher than the also very good 2011.
