- France
- Viognier
- ABV 12.5
- Zalto Denk'Art Bordeaux Glass
Stuart McCloskey “A fantastic wine from the get-go and shows Viognier in the very best light. The bouquet feels like summer in a glass (albeit a tad reticent). Ripe apricots lead the way followed by honey, fresh fennel, pear, quince, bee pollen, spring blossom, which are all juxtaposed with minerality (wet stones), cold steel and citrus. Wonderful textural appeal and, if I am being perfectly honest, drinks much better than I was expecting (apologies, Michel). There’s richness, palate filling viscosity - quintessentially Rhône and a very good example too… This feels so sexy whilst providing ample freshness. Flavours are long and broaden out to honeysuckle, ripe orchard fruits, lashings of minerality, anise, along with bountiful acidity which keeps those opulent flavours in-check. Fleshy, ample (at its most controlled) and very moreish. Of course, there’s quality for this to cellar however, I like where she is today. Highly recommended… Served using Zalto’s Universal stem.”
