Viognier
75cl * 13.5% * Rhone Valley
When he’s not tending his vines, Yves Cuilleron spends much of his time at Le Bistrot de Serine run by his family in Ampuis. Fine wine, he insists, must always be enjoyed with good food - and winemaking is thirsty work.
Lingering and textured, this juicy, Condrieu-like white is all ripe quince and apricot. Serve - as Yves does - with grilled shrimp cooked over charcoal, alongside a punchy salsa verde.
