"A delicious Viognier not to be missed!"
Produced organically, as with all Château Rochecolombe cuvées, this 100% Viognier Côtes-du-Rhône expresses intense fruity aromas. Apricot and honey mingle in the glass, in a full-bodied, fresh and well-balanced style. Excellent aromatic persistence, with a touch of bitterness on the finish!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Formerly owned by Flemish songwriter Robert Herberigs, this 28-hectare (certified organic) Ardèche estate has been run since 1998 by Roland Terrasse, his grandson. It owes its name to the "dove-white" stone that makes up the château's Directoire-style building. Often in the spotlight for its Côtes-du-Rhône and Villages wines.

Note and review by M. MATHIEU W. Published on 22/04/2024
Vrije lichte bleekgele kleur. Aan de neus zoete, florale indrukken, daarnaast meloen, lichte vegetale toets en ook gefermenteerde groente. Expressief en geparfumeerd. In de mond een mollige aanzet van rijpe meloen en overrijpe mango, daarnaast ook wat peer en venkel. Veel materie en kracht. Gemiddelde tot lage zuurgraad (typisch Viognier, typisch witte Rhône). Filmend alom en goede lengte. Wijn staat als een huis, terecht een gouden medaille in Parijs,... voor wat het waard is! Score: 16/20
