"Gourmandise
A Viognier from the Southern Rhône, charming, expressive and elegant without heaviness. This beautiful cuvée comes from a predominantly limestone terroir, and is harvested at night for optimum expression of Viognier's finesse. Opt for a local pairing with truffle-flavored dishes such as an omelet or ravioli gratin, or as an aperitif for a simple moment of sharing! A white wine to tantalize the taste buds!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain Noted (2020 guide) Selected (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 :
For four generations, this estate has been steadily expanding. Today, it owns 78 hectares, mainly in the Drôme provençale region, around Grignan and Vinsobres. Consistent in quality, the wines offer fine expressions of their terroirs, thanks to controlled barrel ageing. The wines of the Grignan-les-Adhémar appellation are among the region's finest examples. Note the beautiful homogeneity of the samples tasted over the 2017 and 2018 vintages.
