Côtes-du-Rhône Viognier, Domaine Les Grands Bois 2023
This Viognier is my very favourite everyday white wine. Richer and more aromatic even than many Burgundian Chardonnays, this is a really glorious wine. This very ancient grape variety, brought to the southern Rhône by the Romans, very nearly died out in the 1960s because it requires so much skill in its winemaking; it is now quite rightly ultra-fashionable. Its highest expression is Condrieu.
For less than a quarter of the price of Condrieu, you can buy this Côtes-du-Rhône Viognier 2023 from our favourite small family-owned southern Rhône producer, Domaine les Grands Bois.

This is the most incredible bargain. I love southern Rhone whites especially Condrieu, but that's sadly too good and too expensive to drink everyday. £14.95! for a wine produced from Viognier grapes grown on those wonderful slopes you see as you head away from Lyon on the Autoroute de Soleil. Glorious place, delicious wine with lovely fruit, fresh blossom all so fresh. Next time we drive down to the South of France I am going to be the passenger, sipping this Viognier. Thank you for the recommendation of this lovely wine and thank you to John Livingstone-Learmonth for introducing me to this great river.
Delicious - one of the better bottles of Viognier you can hope to order.
