Les Vins de Vienne – Viognier – Vin de France – White – 2015:

 

A Northern Rhône Masterpiece: Les Vins de Vienne Viognier

From the collaborative genius of Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard, and François Villard-the trio behind the Northern Rhône’s renaissance-this Viognier Vin de France Blanc is a testament to their dedication. It offers the luxurious, full-bodied character of a top-end Viognier but under the more versatile Vin de France designation, ensuring remarkable quality and value. A must-try for Condrieu enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes: The Essence of Viognier

• Colour: Brilliant pale gold.
• Nose: Highly aromatic, presenting an opulent bouquet of white stone fruit-namely apricot and peach-with elegant floral notes of jasmine and a hint of ginger spice.
• Palate: Rich and round, with a beautifully oily texture that is the hallmark of fine Viognier. The fruit intensity is superbly managed, leading to a long, clean finish thanks to a refreshing mineral backbone. It’s generous yet impeccably structured.

Service and Culinary Matches

The richness and aromatic complexity of this wine make it a superb partner for diverse gastronomy. Serve cool, not cold (12-14°C).

• Dedicated Pairings: Superb with rich poultry dishes, particularly those featuring cream or subtle spice, such as Thai Green Curry or Baked Fish with a Mango and Chilli Relish.
• When to Drink: Best enjoyed over the next 3 years to capture its vibrant, youthful fruit.
