LES CLASSIQUES ARDÈCHE - Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP)

$17.00

Overview
Viognier, a white grape variety from the Rhône Valley, produces a wine so subtle that it is considered extraordinary! This autochthonous grape variety from the northern Côtes du Rhône is described as having small compact bunches, small grains, and thick amber-white skin which is distinguished by its slightly muscat flavor. It is a grape variety that remained confidential for so long that it was almost forgotten for lack of winegrowers to work with it.
