Piercing acidity drives citrus and stone fruit flavors with remarkable clarity. White peach, lime zest and acacia blossoms unfold in layers, anchored by the appellation's distinctive rocky minerality. The texture is both rich and taut, with crystalline purity that builds to an expansive, persistent finish. Should develop beautifully over the next decade.

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.
