La Redonne Côtes du Rhône White Rhone Blend

Ohhhhh blendy blend. I mean this is mostly Viognier but that saucy Roussanne kicks in with its sense of at least a modicum of balance that is well-employed. Down with this Viognier-strong blend. It says: random herbs, sprinkles of cinnamon bark shards and canned tangerine all...in a gelatine mold? I’m not sure (having not eaten gelatin since before vegetarian days) but something sorta unctuous but fresh, ripe but..also new. I’ll just chill here happily with the bottle. But I should probably go to bed.

Green tinged medium lemon Yellow. Appealing nose of chalky peach, tangerine and lemon. Medium acitity developing some bitterness on the finish that limits the food pairings. Good with sushi, smoked salmon, grilled chicken - anything with a slightly saline note.

With an unusual 70% Viognier this wine had great floral qualities with Roussanne filling out the avidity. Lovely silky texture and food friendly possibilities. Vibrant peach and lemon

70% Viognier 30% Roussanne

With dinner at Hotel Fourviere. Biodynamic

Attaque un peu sirupeuse mais une jolie fraicheur finale apporté par roussane.

One of my favorite styles

Good value for this wine, but I was expecting a bit more aroma from an 80% viognier blend.

Quite complex blend of Viognier (70%) and Rousanne (30%).
