Description
The 2019 Viognier “La Champine” from Domaine Gerin is a delicate and elegant white wine that highlights the purity of the Viognier grape without the constraints of a controlled appellation, as it is classified under the “Vin de France” designation. Domaine Gerin, renowned for its expertise in Northern Rhône Valley wines, has crafted a wine that beautifully reflects the typical characteristics of Viognier, a signature grape of the region.
This 2019 Viognier is a fresh, fruity wine made from vines cultivated with respect for the terroir. The wine stands out for its vibrant aromatic expression and smooth texture, hallmarks of white wines from this variety.
Blend
The wine is made exclusively from Viognier, a grape known for its floral and fruity aromas. This single-varietal approach showcases the subtle nuances and aromatic richness of Viognier without any embellishment.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: This wine has a pale yellow hue, bright and with light golden reflections, signaling its youth and vitality.
Nose: The nose is expressive, revealing classic Viognier aromas of apricot, peach, and white flowers (jasmine, honeysuckle), with subtle hints of citrus and honey.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is generous and full-bodied with a lovely roundness. Flavors of white-fleshed fruits and citrus are complemented by a fine minerality, which brings freshness and length. The finish is elegant and persistent, with lingering floral and lightly spiced notes.
Aging Potential
The 2019 Viognier “La Champine” is best enjoyed young to fully appreciate its freshness and aromatic bouquet. However, it can be kept for 3 to 4 years, during which time it will develop greater complexity.
