Chateau de la Selve Saint Regis Viognier

The best Viognier may come from the Rhône; from the small Condrieu appellation. At least if you believe the price tag. Winemaker Benoît Chazallon is also in the Rhône, but 80 kilometers further in the Ardèche. The nights are quite chilly there, even in summer. And so does the Viognier. Benoît uses organically grown grapes. He matures the wine for a long time on the yeasts, partly in amphorae and partly in large oak barrels.

It produces an extremely delicate wine with minerality, lots of freshness and a slightly creamy structure. You smell lavender and biscuit. Floral and soft. With tropical fruit of Galia melon and banana. Beautifully balanced. A wine for true enthusiasts who can appreciate this elegance.
