Château GRILLET - Côtes du Rhône - White 2023
Château-Grillet is a legendary address in the northern Rhône valley, globally recognized for its unique and exacting interpretation of Viognier. An iconic estate perched on steep granite slopes, it embodies a haute couture vision of white wine, combining tradition, precision, and attention to detail. A historic monopoly and a distinct appellation, Château-Grillet is now committed to a rigorous biodynamic approach, aiming to accurately reveal the identity of its terroirs. This philosophy is reflected both in its iconic cuvées and in its more accessible expressions. The estate thus remains an absolute reference for lovers of great Rhône whites.
The Château-Grillet Côtes du Rhône White 2023 is a cuvée designed as an elegant entry point into the estate’s universe. Originating from parcels located outside the heart of the Château-Grillet appellation, it nevertheless benefits from the same care in the vineyard and the same exacting standards in the cellar. The 2023 vintage offers balanced ripeness, allowing the Viognier to express itself with purity and freshness. The vinification is precise and measured, favoring aromatic finesse and terroir clarity over power. The aging supports the wine discreetly, preserving the brightness of the fruit and natural tension. This cuvée embodies a style that is both generous and controlled, faithful to the estate’s signature.
On tasting, this 2023 Côtes du Rhône White charms with its luminous expression and natural balance. The nose reveals notes of white peach, fresh apricot, and pear, enhanced by an elegant floral touch. The palate is supple and silky, carried by a welcome freshness that lengthens the tasting and provides good digestibility. The Viognier expresses itself here in a pure register, without heaviness, with a clean and delicately mineral finish. This wine pairs perfectly with grilled fish, seafood, roasted poultry, or refined vegetarian cuisine. It can also be enjoyed as an aperitif to appreciate all the finesse and generosity of the Château-Grillet style.
