France, Southern Rhône Valley: Part Two - The 2014s and 2015s

I published Part One of the Southern Rhône notes in Issue 227, with the focus on Châteauneuf du Pape Producers. Part Two steps outside Châteauneuf du Pape and includes all the Southern Rhône appellations. Combined, there’s over 1,700 reviews from the 2014 and 2015 vintages in the southern Rhône. Readers can find additional information on the weather conditions for both vintages in the introduction report in 227, but I’ve included high-level overviews below.
