Review Summary:
White wines from the Rhone are useful as food wines. Like most such wines, this one is a blend of several grape varieties, in this case mostly Viognier and Grenache Blanc. The blend creates complex aromas and flavours which are versatile with a range of foods. Medium gold in color, this smells of canned peaches, banana and pineapple with a hint of hazelnut. Full-bodied, tasting of apricot with more of that nutty bitterness on the finish. One of the few wines that actually complements creamy cheeses like Brie.
