Description
This amazing Viognier from Francois Villard has a pale yellow-gold hue in the glass, and offers powerful aromas of peach, apricot, honeysuckle, and orange blossom on the nose. The palate delivers typically rich, fleshy stone-fruit flavours with a compelling mineral streak, balanced by lively acidity and a subtle salinity that lingers beautifully. This beguiling wines is delicious now, but will continue to provide terrific drinking over the next 3-5 years at least.
De Poncins is one of the largest Condrieu vineyards producing some of the finest wines of the appellation. François Villard Viognier ‘Les Contours de Deponcins’ IGP comes from a declassified vineyard lying next to De Poncins sitting on the same contours with the same terroir, yet the Vin de Pays is a fraction of the price. The vines are 12 years old and are planted on sand and granite soils with a southeast exposure for optimal ripening.
