Chêne Bleu Viognier 2023

Chêne Bleu Viognier is praised for its floral aromas, apricot flavors, and creamy texture enhanced by oak aging, though some find it overly oaky or unbalanced. Enthusiasts appreciate its full-bodied, mineral-driven character, while others note variability in food pairing success across vintages.

The Chêne Bleu Viognier presents a luminous pale gold hue, indicative of its refined elegance. On the nose, it unfurls a bouquet of ripe apricot and honeysuckle, underscored by subtle notes of white peach and a whisper of ginger spice. The palate is voluptuous yet poised, with a creamy texture that is deftly balanced by a vibrant acidity, enhancing its freshness. Layers of stone fruit and a hint of almond linger through the finish, showcasing a harmonious interplay of richness and finesse. This Viognier stands as a benchmark for Rhône varietals, embodying both complexity and precision.
