Pure crystalline energy with citrus peel, white flowers and crushed granite. The texture is dense yet electric, showing why this Northern Rhône monopole commands such reverence. Exotic spice and orchard fruit build with remarkable intensity.

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.
