The grape

Viognier

Best known in Northern Rhône, Languedoc

An aromatic Rhône white grape. Apricot, peach and honeysuckle, with a rich, almost oily texture and fairly low acidity. It is the grape of Condrieu, and in Côte-Rôtie a little is sometimes added to Syrah for perfume.

Where it's from

Rhône Valley

France

Split in two by character. North: intense Syrah at Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie; floral Viognier at Condrieu. South: sun-soaked Grenache blends, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, rosé from Tavel. A region of contrasts and consistent brilliance.
