Expert review
Patience will be required before tasting the monumental Château-Grillet 2022: from a warm vintage, it retains incredible freshness. While we are impressed by the frankness and power of its attack, it is in the length that it truly reveals itself: complex, with notes of tea, herbal infusions, yellow fruits, and candied citrus. - 98pts
Viognier
A full bodied, rich and decadent white wine that comes from the Northern Rhône in France. These wines are deeply flavoured, complex and unctuous with perfumed aromas and intense flavours of honeysuckles, rose, peach, tangerine, mango and quince. Often paired with oak, these wines develop vanilla and nutty complexity that takes it to a whole other level of decadence. Beautiful and curvaceous wines to lose yourself in!
