Burnished amber in the glass with honeyed weight and concentration. Candied orange peel, toasted almonds and caramelized spice create a dessert wine-like richness. The palate shows good density despite some dryness creeping in at the edges. A fascinating relic that rewards patience with its complex evolution.

Château-Grillet is one of France's smallest and most singular appellations: a single-estate AC in the northern Rhône producing exclusively white wine from Viognier, sourced from a steep granite amphitheatre above the river.
