The 2023 Yves Cuilleron Viognier is a beautifully expressive Northern Rhône white that showcases the aromatic charm and texture of this iconic variety. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards and crafted with Yves Cuilleron’s trademark precision, the wine balances Viognier’s natural richness with freshness and elegance. Gentle handling and restrained winemaking allow the purity of the fruit and floral character to shine.
The nose reveals apricot, white peach and nectarine alongside notes of honeysuckle, orange blossom and citrus zest. The palate is silky and vibrant, combining ripe stone fruit flavours with fresh acidity and subtle minerality. Hints of ginger, almond and spice add complexity, while the finish is long, smooth and beautifully balanced. The 2023 vintage delivers excellent purity and drinkability, making it a superb introduction to Rhône Viognier.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A fragrant and versatile white that captures the elegance of Viognier without excessive weight. Fresh, textural and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, roast chicken, pork dishes, Thai-inspired cuisine and creamy cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 3–5 years while its vibrant fruit and floral aromatics are at their peak.
