The Wine... Viognier is etherial and expensive when it comes from the northern Rhone, and often alcoholic and flabby when it is tried elsewhere. I am excited to have found an inexpensive Viognier which has some of the charm of the wines from the northern Rhone without any of the defects of so many of the other Viogniers I have sampled.
This Viognier is ripe and aromatic, easy to pair with
flavorful seafood meals, or maybe just a basic crispy roasted
chicken and vegetables. It comes from Chateau la
Canorgue a 30-hectare estate farmed organically and in
adherence with many Biodynamic principles in
the Luberon, in central Provence.
