Domaine Sainte Cecile Viognier 2018

Joelle Thomson
Wine Writer

“Talk about a crowd pleaser… Viognier is one of the great white grapes of the world, originally from the Rhone Valley in France where it was on the brink of extinction in the mid 1980s when it shrank to just 32 hectares. It is now having a new lease of life both in France and further afield, as this full bodied, Mediterranean coast Viognier shows. The impressive packaging of this wine is suggestive of the promise to come in the bottle, namely, ripe peachy aromas and a fleshy, full bodied style. A decadent and delicious white.” – 4 Stars, Joelle Thomson, Wine Writer

Voluptuous Viognier. The south of France is home to many well-known wineries dotted along the coast. Domaine de Sainte Cecile is one of these and is recognized for both its Chardonnay and in this case, its Viognier. Its filled to the brim with cantaloupe, apricot and white peaches with just a hint of fresh jasmine. Full bodied and well structured, it pairs well with white meats like roast chicken and pork or with any stone-fruit dessert like warm apple pie! – 17/20 Wine Central Tasting Panel

“Viognier is known for its pronounced citrus and stonefruit characters.” – Joelle Thompson, Wine Central Wine Guru
