So often a winning Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Blanc, and this year is no different. Attractive Viognier notes on the nose of peach and almond, enlivened by some subtle oak spice and brisk acidity. It's medium-bodied, fresh and lively on the palate. The oak use is a positive and adds to the wine, giving just a touch of extra roundness and complexity.
