A: light gold N: very very floral. P: Fully dry, but also intensely floral which is a mind warper. Its a marmite wine. Great quality but not sure I like it. I'd rather pay the extra for a Condrieu.

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club" 2015-08; Northern Rhône (@ PD): The wine has developed over the last 6 months and my tasting note is quite different. This evening the wine mainly showed ripe white fruits, flowers and some citrus in the bouquet. On the palate yellow fruits like bananas, peach, mango and pineapple, flowers, green herbs and tangerine. Some grapefruit in the finish. Overall an aromatic wine with a good length.

Such a beautiful wine. Everything is in harmony. Lovely nose that just captivated me. On the palate, it was soft yet bright enough to keep things in balance. Just a great viognier - love this style.

Bravo Francois! As promised at the en primeur stage by the Wine Soc: 'Peaches and Cream'. Definitely so. Also, apricot, peach stone, lovely mineral flavour - did someone say oyster shell? - bang on - and a core of acidity to keep it working through the meal, and (key) at all temperatures. Certainly a happy and lucky choice for a prawn and parsnip Thai curry (yes, it exists -- i just ate it). But the main point is the wine. It is a treat.

A decent Viognier. Benefitted from an additional year.
