Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône 'Les Champauvins' BLANC 2023
93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
92 POINTS: Jeb Dunnuck
"All Viognier, the 2023 Côtes du Rhône Les Champauvins Blanc is also beautiful, with juicy citrus and quince-like notes as well as minty herbs and mineral nuances. I wouldn't guess Viognier, but I love its overall purity, it's medium-bodied, and it has a gorgeous texture and a great finish."

"Located next to the Les Champauvins vineyard; soils are clay and sand with limestone. The magic of old-vine Viognier for intense honeysuckle aroma and soft texture is on full display. The color is clear and brilliant. A very intense nose of flowers, white peach and pear. A great example of white Rhône wine."

For this sort of money you could buy a decent NZ chard....but this wine transcends you to a small village to the east of the Rhone on a balmy summers night...once you have been there you will want to go back again and again
