2010 Vidal Fleury Cote Du Rhone Blanc

J. Vidal-Fleury was founded in 1781 making it the Rhône Valley's oldest, continuously operating winery, grower and negociant. In much more recent times, this historic estate has been under the leadership of the estimable Guigal family. And things have been on the upswing ever since. This is Viognier, and boy is it pretty, with minerals aplenty and sweet apricot notes with a dry, inviting finish. Great with salads.
