RVF
From the bluish granite plots adjacent to Château Grillet, Jeanraude delicately intoxicates us. Intense aromas of rose petal jam, white peach and even raspberry perfume this voluptuous, powerful Viognier. Flavors of honey and tangerine are unctuous and voluminous on the palate, and a freshness awakens the mid-palate to perfection. This substantial wine is already delicious and will keep until 2030.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
This small estate owns some very pretty parcels in Condrieu, some of which, like Poncin, are very close to Château Grillet. We were more seduced by the red Saint Josephs than by the Condrieux in 2017.
