Les Vins de Vienne (Cuilleron Gaillard Villard)

Taburnum Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes Viognier 2022

This 2022 was correct and energetic, but the 2016 was maderized. — 5 days ago

Les Terrasses du Palat Condrieu Viognier 2017

Needs 30 minutes for the modicum of oak to blow off.

Nose: white flowers. Hint of elegant richness.

Palate: white nectarines. Light for a viognier. As it opens juicy. Almost a silkiness.

l'Appel des Sereines Syrah 2021

Full yet flat, not as bouncy as the initial fruit flavors would indicate. This was a pleasant treat, though I'm not as familiar with syrah. — 2 months ago

Reflet Saint Joseph Syrah 2018

Dark ruby/black color. Aromas of black currants, fresh herbs and minerals. Flavors of ripe black berry/currant, dark plums, roasted meat and tobacco. Long earthy and mineral driven finish. Full bodied with high levels of (but well integrated) tannins and acidity. Beautifully concentrated and wonderful mouthfeel. Outstanding! — 24 days ago

Les Contours de DePoncins Viognier 2022

2022 beauty. Quite restrained with hints of lychee, lanolin, peaches, herbal tea. Nice acidity for a Viognier. Perfect with a fennel based white Bouillabaisse — 4 months ago
