"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." - Jeb Dunnuck
"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." - Wine Direct Tasting Team
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
Took a punt on the 2011 Kairos Sauvignon Blanc & was pleasantly surprised at the drinkability of aged Sauv, I do not usually drink Sauvignon Blanc's but after drinking the Kairos I will drink more.
