Yves Cuilleron 'Les Vignes d'à Côté' Viognier 2022

“The nose is classic; overt with wildflowers and white peach while the palate is marked by delicacy and subtle, savoury nuance. A white that improves with air, it's great with dishes flecked with herbs such as tarragon, chervil or fennel. This viognier is one of my go-to wines when I see it on a restaurant list as it delivers the hedonistic charms of condrieu (of which Cuilleron also makes compelling examples) at half the price.'' Hamish Anderson, The Telegraph UK

''Aromas of fresh citrus and orchard fruits, honey and violet take on a mineral element with air. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, offering intense Meyer lemon and Anjou pear flavours that show fine definition. The long, floral-tinged finish features a hint of pear nectar and a repeating mineral note.'' 91 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media (Previous Vintage Review)

''There's a complex interaction of flavours and textures here. Intensely mineral and fruit-driven with an astounding finish. Lovely stony aromas with apricot, fleshy peach  and an approachable, expressive palate with tropical notes and a distinctive mineral tones.'' Sommelier Wine Awards UK (Previous Vintage Review)

Yves Cuilleron is a top end Condrieu producer so he knows how to make great Viognier. Elegant and complex with notes of peaches, apricots, honeysuckle and gentle spice of cinnamon and nutmeg. A richly glorious mouthfeel.
