Lovely and well made Viognier with plenty honeysuckle and stone fruit aromas followed by earthy and mineral elements. Oily texture followed by a quick zip of acid and phenolic tones. Killed it with chilled, smoked seafood.

Mar 21st, 20223 big boys, Cuilleron, Villard, & Gaillard team up to produce nice wines at great qpr.
N. Lots of honeysuckle and peach, stone fruits. Mineral too.
P: the palate is where this shines. Oily, long, on lees for 9 mo. Melons, peaches, bit o’ pineapple. Lots of minerality.
Let that warm for a while, and it’s opulent.
A hint of bitter, stoniness on the finish.
