The problem is question/demand. AC Côte Rotie and Hermitage cannot expand. Their maximum is reached. So, the bottles are very expensive. And I must say, Northern Rhône, for me, still is unique in style.
Hype, hype, and hype. I call it a really good wine but way overpriced. There are recently new regions in the world that offer better wines for fraction of the price like Argentina, Chile, south Australia and Oregon state.
It's a bit apples and oranges though, isn't it? Of the regions you listed, only AUS is particularly known for a Rhône varietal (Shiraz). And Willamette wines are not necessarily any cheaper than Rhône wines.
Do you know how difficult and expensive it is to farm those hillsides? Plus, the appellations are tiny. Price is relative. You can get great quality wine from the regions you mentioned for much cheaper but no, they do not taste like and are not "better" than No. Rhone...
What a beautiful area. And the wines are great too. When it's possible to travel again, I'm going to drink my way down the Rhône all the way to Arles.
La Terre est un Paradis! Merci GuildSomm!
In love with Rhône wines, great vid, cheers
Sumptuous wines. Love them.
Cote Rotie and Hermitage are the wines that send Aussies back to schoolbank
Great video. It's systemized my knowledge. Many thanks.
All these guys are the Rhône Rangers of the Rhône . No if ands or buts

Barossa, Barossa, Barossa.
The greatest Shiraz wines in the world for quality, price and availability

hooman irani Unique terroir and limited production, I’d say their price is fine.
Can you call it overpriced if production is much cheaper in Chile than in France? 🤔
Barossa Shiraz is the greatest regional expression. And value for money is unbelievable
