Profile
Exotic, lush, yet balanced and mineral. Ripe apricot, white peach, honeysuckle, and orange blossom layered with candied lemon peel, roasted almonds, and crushed granite. Francois Villard harvests for fresh acidity, avoiding the oily heaviness sometimes found in warm-vintage Viognier while maintaining a silky, opulent mid-palate.
