Domaine de Mourchon
This high-flying winery has become the buzz of the Côtes du Rhône by blending state-of-
the-art technology with traditional winemaking methods (a dazzling ring of stainless-steel
vats holds wines grown on land plowed by horses). The wines are winning the respect
of international critics, yet the (Scottish) owners seem eager to help anyone understand
Rhône Valley wines. Language is not an issue here, nor is a lack of stunning views. Free
and informative English tours of the vineyards are offered once a week.
Cost and Hours:
Winery open Mon-Sat 8:00-12:00 & 14:00-18:00, Sun by appoint-
ment only; from Easter-Sept, free English tour and tasting offered only on Wed at 17:00,
check website or call to verify; tel. 04 90 46 70 30,
