WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin La Champine Viognier is a vibrant Vin de France from the esteemed Côte Rôtie producer. Sourced from vineyards in the northern Ardèche, south of the prestigious Condrieu AOC where their top-tier Viogniers are made, this entry-level Viognier undergoes a brief élevage in stainless steel. This approach preserves its expressive primary character and lively aromatic profile. The resulting wine is a quintessential modern Viognier, offering a refreshing and engaging taste experience.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

La Champine Viognier features an enticing bouquet of white flowers, ripe peach, and a hint of orange zest. On the palate, it reveals a slightly oily texture with juicy tropical fruit flavors, complemented by a touch of minerality.Its vibrant character allows it to pair well with intense dishes, making it an excellent match for Thai green curry, Peruvian ceviche, or a fresh goat cheese salad. For the best experience, enjoy it within a few years of release to fully appreciate its freshness and aromatic intensity.
