Operation Dragoon, Côtes du Rhône (2016)

Rhône Valley, France
70% Grenache, 30% Syrah
Codename for the Allied invasion of Southern France, OPERATION DRAGOON was launched August 15, 1944. During the next month, the French army liberated Toulon and Marseille while the American soldiers advanced National Route 7 with the help of the French Resistance to release the Rhone Valley. This four week campaign, combined with D-Day, was instrumental in the ending of the war. This blend is our homage to all those people who liberated the Rhone Valley, helping bring peace back to the world.
