Château-Grillet
Château-Grillet 2022
Château-Grillet comes from the monopole vineyard of Château-Grillet, a single vineyard appellation in the northern Rhône planted entirely to Viognier. The site sits on steep, terraced granite slopes above the Rhône, with a south-facing aspect that gives full ripening while retaining line through elevation and exposure.
The wine is fermented and aged in oak, with a portion of new barrels, followed by time in bottle before release. The approach remains consistent, with élevage used to shape texture rather than dominate the wine.
The 2022 shows apricot, peach and citrus peel, with almond, spice and a faint smoky edge. The palate is full without excess, with a firm core of acidity and a long, structured finish.
