Collines Rhodaniennes is the IGP title for red, white and rosé wines from an area which essentially corresponds to the northern Rhône Valley wine region of eastern France. The catchment area for this title stretches from Lyon in the north to Montélimar in the south. The area is also home to some of southern France's most famous AOC appellations, including Côte Rôtie, Condrieu and Hermitage.
The landscape of the Collines Rhodaniennes is characterized by the hills and valleys that surround the Rhône river. The Massif Central lies to the west and the embryonic foothills of the Alps to the east. The Rhône river carving its way through the sandstone, limestone and granite between them.
