WINE DESCRIPTION

Château de Montfaucon is one of the finest wineries in the region, consistently producing top-quality wines. Rodolphe de Pins, the current owner, named his Côtes du Rhône Blanc Comtesse Madelaine and his red Prestige Cuvée Baron Louis in honor of his grandmother and great-uncle. Inspired by Châteauneuf du Pape, Rodolphe strives for wines with less alcohol but more finesse and elegance, using traditional regional grape varieties to create well-balanced, spicy wines. The vines grow on sandy and clay soils rich in limestone, and the wines mature for nine months in concrete tanks and used barrels.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Château de Montfaucon Viognier offers a complex and inviting bouquet of fragrant citrus, white flowers, and stone fruits.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generous with a pleasingly round texture and an array of flavors ranging from ripe apricot and honey to baked apple and white pepper. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of sweetness and a hint of minerality. Enjoy this delightful Viognier with grilled seafood and chicken dishes, or simply on its own.
