    Confirming the answer to the 4th question - see here

    Q. What is the maximum percentage of Viognier allowed in AC Côte-Rôtie?
    A. 20%


    I'm wondering if we need the actual magazine to know which 8 crus they profiled?

    ** Update 02/11
    I popped into WH Smith today but this is one of those wrapped magazines so I can't browse through it looking for the answers....

    Maybe someone on here gets the mag and can provide the other answers?

    I think for the 2nd questions it's 7 - if you look at wiki they breakdown what each place is allowed to produce. I counted 7 allowing to produce white? (they only list 8 on wiki so presuming the same 8 they listed in the mag)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rh%C3%B4ne_wine#Northern_Rh.C3.B4ne

    As for question 3, I think it's Chateau Grillet AOC as it's only 3.8 hectares.The rest on the list are from 55 hectares +

    My guess at answers are:
    Q. Which is the only northern Rhône cru to produce sparkling wine?

    A.7

    Q. Which of the eight crus profiled here is the smallest, by vineyard area?
