April 19, 2024 - Klöver och tulpan, bivax, brioche, sparris, gul frukt, apelsinmarmelad, elegant, charmerande och förförande doft.
Balanserat och munfyllande, lyft i syrorna, lång kryddig eftersmak, mycket bra.
March 23, 2024 - This is a WOW wine. Love the Vernay’s Cote Rotie and I suppose I’ve tasted some of the Viognier in them as well, but this bottle was a wonderful experience.
Honeysuckle, blossom, apricot, Nectar, lychee on the nose, just opening up more and more as the evening wore on.
Orange creamsicle on the palate. None of the oiliness them sometimes get in the way.
Med+ acidity, med body, med+ finish. Paired with angel hair pasta & caviar and Alaskan kong crab. Will definitely search this out again.

July 9, 2023 - Hm.
First time I scored this wine 95 pts. Probably should have decanted 2-3 hours or so.
May 7, 2023 - You know the novels of Haruki Mirakami? They leave me unmoved. You love them? You think "Hey, he needs to read this one, the one I love so much." And I can tell you, no, I read that one, too. I have read the first 50 pages of all the good Haruki Mirakami, and you know what? I get it. It's fine. It just doesn't do anything for me. Opens a bit sweet, then has sort of a vodka like feel to it, followed by a pleasant minerality. And maybe that's great for you, but it does nothing for me? Because that's what's going on. I am just not a viognier or a Murakami guy.
April 3, 2023 - Tasting: What a great white wine. Worth seeking out.
April 29, 2022 - (Ampuis)
On a pu gouter les 3 cuvées, et au final Vernon restait la moins accessible, la plus tendue, la plus muette. Ah ça file droit dans la richesse!
Mais une remarque, après les 3 blancs, un petit mal de crâne a fait son entrée, signe tout de même que les vins sont remarquablement chargés.
Un grand classique donc, même dans la vinification...
