Château St-Pierre d'Escarvail Côtes du Rhône Rigal 1957
Château St-Pierre d'Escarvail Côtes du Rhône Rigal 1990 is a French red wine produced by Franck et Jacques Rigal. Presented in a large 1500ml format, this specific release is designated as both a Cuvée Prestige and a Cuvée Exceptionnelle. The wine was imported by Svendborg Vinkompagni and bottled with an alcohol content of 12%. While the product name associates it with the Côtes du Rhône, the label also carries the Appellation Cahors Contrôlée designation.
The Rhône Valley in southeastern France has a viticultural history that dates back to Roman times. The region is geographically divided into two distinct sections: the northern part, characterized by its steep slopes, and the warmer southern area. The Côtes du Rhône is a vast regional appellation covering the entire valley, extending across 171 municipalities in six departments from Vienne in the north to Avignon in the south.
Granted AOC status in 1937, the Côtes du Rhône stands as France's second-largest AOC. The appellation produces red, rosé, and white wines, with a strong emphasis on reds based on Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, often supplemented by Cinsault, Carignan, and other permitted grape varieties. The terroir across this expansive area is highly diverse, featuring soils that range from granite in the north to limestone, clay, and pebble gravel in the south.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Côtes du Rhône
The Rhône Valley in south-eastern France has grown wine since Roman times. The region falls into two parts: the northern section with steep slopes, where Syrah produces deep wines in Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, and the warmer south, where Grenache-based blends culminate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines are spicy and powerful with dark berries, pepper and garrigue herbs.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
