Château Grillet 2011 is a full-bodied white wine produced exclusively from one small-scale vineyard situated in a unique amphitheatre on the steep banks of the northern Rhône Valley. This vineyard, encompassing only 3.75 hectares, fully utilises the Viognier grape, yielding a limited release that reflects the distinct characteristics of its terroir. The vintage presents an intricate profile, with notes of stone fruits and floral hints, often requiring extended bottle age to reveal its depth.
