Two maps support the contrast between steep Northern Rhone sites centered on Syrah and white varieties, and Southern Rhone multi-variety blends. Hermitage may combine vineyard components; Cote-Rotie may include Viognier; southern blends assign different roles to Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. The chapter also distinguishes Condrieu, Chateau-Grillet, Saint-Peray, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Tavel and generic Cotes-du-Rhone.

Ready means a recoverable source and precise supplied-PDF locator. No direct quotation is being authenticated here. Limits: Wine-production examples support comparison, not proof that equivalent finished-whiskey mixtures will work. 'Blending not permitted' for Cornas concerns varietal composition, not every possible same-variety lot blend. Hermit and blonde/brunette origin tales are legends. The 13-grape shorthand and legal percentages are not a refreshed legal account.
