The city of Lyon is the boundary between the Rhone region (southern Rhone) and the Burgundy region (nouthern Rhone). Yes, I also noticed it wasn't just a one-time mispronunciation.
Thanks for that presentation. Really appreciate the sense of humor and wit - too many wine experts take themselves too seriously. Just picked up a 2011 La Celestiere CdP to try along a 2014 Cosme Gigondas.
Excellent video! Loved the history lesson given and all the knowledge around the area. Visited the area back in the early 2000s. So gorgeous but the Castles, hahahaa so many, so epic. Then drove to Cahors…
Nice video. Visited CdP a few years ago, along with other Rhone villages. Beautiful place, beautiful wines. Standing in a vineyard in CdP and seeing the rocky soil is different from other vineyards I’ve seen.
Some Chateauneuf du Pape, as some Wines in Langudoc are aged in the Big Barrel, not in the bottle. I have chance to taste a Chateauneuf du Pape 1972 (Xavier Vignon) two years ago. It was an aged one but still having certain impressive freshness. Really gorgeous. Of course, just as you say the barrel was forgotten by the producer in his vineyard🤣. But in fact their are some producer, especially in Langudoc, Rhone regions, like to "élever" as in French their red wine in the big barrel and to bottle them many years (6, 8 even, 10) later to sell. For example, the famous Chateauneuf du Pape, Rayas, we have to wait for more than eight years to buy the so called "new" wine; Or such as Peyre Rose, excellent domaine in Languedoc, you can probably only find their red wines of 2012 or 2013 in sell this year (2024).
@6:55--Anybody want to weigh in--Why did he say "You'll never want to eat lamb again"...Because it's so plentiful, or it's so bad(gamey, which I like in a stew, or tough like mutton)?
What a great video. Thank you!
Superb presentation! Cheers! 🍷
Great explanations thanks 👏😊

Sipping a Chateauneuf-Du-Pape as I watch this. Definitely a step up from my normal tipple.
Great video btw
Wow, this was fantastic. Keep making videos. Thank you!

Uh, "sowthern" Rhone? I'm confused about your chosen pronunciation. Great video, though!
Please leave our european winemaking alone. Write about the cocacola style chardonnay of california and you feel better.
