In the world of fine wine, there are famous wine regions that are generally familiar to the sophisticated consumer, and then there are those that are off the proverbial beaten path. When we think of French wine, regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, and of course Champagne come to mind. But wines from the south of France are a bit more obscure, despite vast production and often superb quality. Regions such as Cotes de Gascogne, Corbières, Provence, Languedoc, Roussillon, Bandol, and the Southern Rhone (including appellations such as Cotes-du-Rhone, Vacqueyras, Gigondas, and of course Châteauneuf-du-Pape). These regions produce some of the world's great wines (including famous rosés), and their grapes include Syrah, Grenache, Picpoul, Carignan, Viognier, Cinsault, Pinot Noir, Ugni Blanc, and Mourvèdre- a great grape usually hidden in broader blends which here produces superb varietal wines.
