Calmel & Joseph Villa Blanche Viognier 2022

92 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

"Bright daffodil yellow gleaming with golden highlights. Characteristic aromas of apricot, white peach and green fig are followed by smoky notes, vanilla, soft caramel, and cinnamon. Deliciously smooth and balanced in the mouth with a natural richness. Dried fruit, apricot, vine peach and very ripe nectarine lead to a finish of ripe orchard fruits and a lightly toasted notes that underpin the whole in a lovely fresh finish."
