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

 

The Ultimate Aromatic Experience: Les Vins de Vienne Viognier

Crafted by the visionary trio (Cuilleron, Gaillard, Villard) who pioneered the Northern Rhône revival, this Viognier Vin de France Blanc delivers premium quality at an accessible price point. While classified as ‘Vin de France,’ it’s produced with the same meticulous attention as their top-tier Condrieu, resulting in a wine that is both immediately enjoyable and profoundly complex. This is the aromatic white wine your cellar is missing.

Tasting Profile & Notes

• Appearance: A radiant pale gold, signaling concentration and ripeness.
• Nose: Explodes with textbook Viognier aromas: ripe apricot, juicy yellow peach, vibrant honeysuckle, and a subtle, honeyed spice note.
• Palate: Full-bodied and unctuous, the wine delivers a luxurious, creamy texture that coats the mouth. The intense fruit is perfectly balanced by a striking, fresh mineral cut on the finish, preventing it from tasting heavy. Expect a long, complex finish showcasing pear and delicate baking spices.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This is a wine built for rich, flavorful, and slightly spicy cuisine. Serve chilled, but not ice-cold (54-57°F / 12-14°C), to allow its aromatic complexity to shine.

• Food Pairings: Excellent with exotic and fusion dishes. Try it with Moroccan Tagine, creamy pasta, or rich poultry like Roast Turkey.
• Cellaring: Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit, or cellar for 2-4 years to develop nutty and more profound honeyed characteristics.
