Wonderful freshness lifted by typical Viognier aromas of peach, almond and honeysuckle. On the mid-palate, a fine balance between the acidic tension associated with its terroir and the natural full body of the varietal when slightly aged. This leads to great savoury length on the finish, full of rustic, minerally overtones.

"The M. Chapoutier La Combe Pilate might only be categorised as a humble IGP Collines Rhodaniennes but it's a Viognier of astonishing style and elegance made just yards from the fabled Condrieu appellation and thus a fraction of the price, although no less fine. It boasts everything that a fine Viognier should boast: honeysuckle, peach and apricot on the nose, a delightfully creamy, oily texture, delicate, restrained white stone fruit and fresh herbs in the mouth backed by a long savoury finish."
