Summary
Wines from Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape have made the Rhône Valley world famous. This may be a classic wine region, but as Matt Walls reveals in Wines of the Rhône, that doesn’t mean it is set in its ways.

Critics Review
“Highly recommended … full of insights … Walls is a quiet listener with a superb palate. He has committed the necessary shoe leather to find the best producers in the region.” - Victoria Moore, The Telegraph
Walls writes extremely well … Through just a few words, a sentence or two, he manages to convey a real sense of the personalities behind the estates. And his descriptions of many of the wines are so mouth-watering that it’s difficult to read this book without wanting to rush off and buy the wines. It has been way too long since we last had a decent book on the Rhône, and Walls has done a great job of filling that gap. Overall, this is a comprehensive, thoughtful, provocative-at-times but very insightful book which is essential reading for Rhône lovers or anyone trying to get to grips with the region. - Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com
