The color is clear and brilliant. A very intense nose of flowers, white peach and pear. On the palate, aromas are expressed with balance and an amazing freshness. A great example of Rhone white, single grape “Viognier”.
Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Blanc Les Champauvins' food pairing
"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."

"Medium yellow straw. This 100% Viognier from the single vineyard Les Champauvins begins with a perfumed, floral nose accompanied by white stonefruit. Beautifully balanced and perfumed in the mouth with a seductive purity and waxy texture. Another stellar value from Fran Kysela. - Don WINKLER"

"A delicious, well-crafted and focused white with aromas of white peaches, mustard seeds, wild flowers and a touch of apple, too. It’s medium-bodied with a comforting character on the palate. Textured and flavorful. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."
