Château GRILLET 2022
Château-Grillet is one of the rarest and most emblematic jewels of the Rhône Valley, a unique appellation and historic monopoly nestled on dizzying granite slopes overlooking the Rhône. A true legend of Viognier, the estate has embodied for centuries an elitist and demanding vision of white wine, based on precision, depth, and long aging. The meticulous work on the terraces, the advanced age of the vines, and the exceptional exposure give the wines a unique identity, immediately recognizable. Committed to a biodynamic approach, Château-Grillet seeks to express the singularity of its terroir with the greatest possible purity. Each vintage is produced in tiny quantities, making this wine an absolute reference and an object of desire for enthusiasts worldwide.
Château-Grillet 2022 is the most accomplished expression of the estate, coming exclusively from the historic heart of the appellation. The 2022 vintage, sunny but perfectly controlled, offers a Viognier of great maturity, balanced by remarkable freshness. The vinification is carried out with extreme precision to preserve the aromatic brilliance and the natural structure of the wine. The carefully dosed aging supports the body without ever dominating it, allowing the granite terroir to fully express itself. This cuvée embodies the quintessence of the Château-Grillet style, between contained power, finesse of texture, and aromatic depth. It is a wine designed for gastronomy and for slow and noble evolution in the cellar.
On tasting, Château-Grillet 2022 impresses with its balance and refinement. The nose reveals complex aromas of ripe apricot, white peach, delicate flowers, and subtle mineral notes. The palate is ample, silky, and perfectly structured, with an elegant tension that stretches the natural richness of the Viognier. The flavors unfold with precision, leaving a sensation of depth and persistent freshness. The finish is long, refined, and subtly saline, a signature of great granite terroirs. This wine pairs magnificently with noble fish, shellfish, gourmet poultry, or refined cuisine with delicate textures. It can also be enjoyed alone, as a great moment of contemplation, revealing the full grandeur of one of the world's greatest white wines.
