{"title":"Rhône Valley","description":"\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Rhône Valley is one of France’s most important and celebrated wine regions, following the Rhône River from the northern vineyards around Lyon to the Mediterranean coast.

Combining centuries of tradition with modern techniques and growing interest in sustainable viticulture, the Rhône remains a benchmark for expressive, terroir-driven French wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-fleur-solitaire-cotes-du-rhone-blanc-2024-boutinot","title":"La Fleur Solitaire Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2024 Boutinot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe nose is pretty and delicate, just hints of hedgerow flowers with subtle white stone fruit undertones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate reveals nuanced and refined flavours rather than overt characteristics - these are not demonstrative grape varieties and need gentle handling to maintain the delicate flavours and freshness.
