Lovely typical n. Rhone viognier. Aromatic of trampled roses and wild honey. On the palate too, with passion fruit. Medium bodied. Enjoyed!

Classic viognier- lillies, sunflowers, dry honey and oranges. Medium-full bodied. Deep in color. Lower in acidity. This will not get better with age- drink now.

Not a fan. Seemed sugary and fake. I’m not sure what they do in their process that makes this IGP but it does not have the qualities I look for in Viognier

A very good and drinkable organic Viognier from the Rhone by M. Chapoutier, who produces some of the great red Rhones. Under $30, full of ripe pear, melon and peach flavors with some soft acids and salinity to ensure its not cloying.
