Piercing acidity and stony minerality define this classic expression. Lime zest and white peach weave through granite-like structure, while waxy texture adds richness mid-palate. The finish shows remarkable persistence with herb-laced stone fruit that builds beautifully.

Château-Grillet

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.
