The Viognier 2022 Vignes d’à Côté by Yves Cuilleron is a delicious expression of this aromatic grape, translated into a pure and approachable style. In the glass the wine sparkles with a bright, straw-yellow colour with light green tints, fresh and inviting. The nose is intense and perfumed, with lush aromas of ripe peach, apricot and juicy pear, beautifully supported by notes of acacia blossom and a touch of honey. A subtle hint of citrus gives the bouquet extra liveliness and finesse. On the palate this Viognier is supple and juicy, with a lovely balance between rich fruitiness and refreshing acidity. Flavours of ripe stone fruit dominate, complemented by a floral touch that gives the wine elegance and lightness. Although the wine is aromatically exuberant, it remains refined and never heavy, thanks to Cuilleron's precise winemaking. The finish is clean, fresh and aromatic, with a pleasant minerality and a subtle creaminess that lingers briefly and invites another sip.
