Côtes-du-Rhône wines come from an incredibly varied assortment of terroirs and microclimates, all of them offering generous, easy drinking, food-friendly wines. The name was conjured up because this wine is sourced from both banks of the Rhône, with the grenache coming mainly from the left ("rive gauche") bank and the syrah from the village of Daumazan (on the "rive droite"), while the whites are sourced near the village of Signargues - still on the left bank.
