Laurent Miquel Viognier Nord Sud
From Languedoc-Roussillon
| Vintage: | 2005 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Calcareous clay soil, with large stones; Mediterranean climate. 35% aged in new French oak barrels. Yield: 45 hectoliters/hectare. Golden yellow, with pale green highlights. This wine is redolent with honeysuckle and peach aromas, but with accompanying acidity on the palate for balance. "i have been following their various releases for many years now and am particularly taken by this, their superior Viognier bottling, from the successful 2005 vintage as it is drinking now. This is not a style of wine to stash away and think of drinking next year, or even necessarily at the end of this year. Drink it over the next few months to benefit from its entirely authentic honeysuckle and mayblossom flavours while there is also good freshness and attack there too. It is 13.5 per cent alcohol ? not as heady as Viognier can get in parts of California, say ? and an impressively long finish. To me, this does taste like baby Condrieu, unlike so many Languedoc Viogniers with their suspiciously ersatz aromas. I?d serve this wine either as an exotic aperitif or with the sort of zesty salad that does duty as either a first course or a summer lunch. I could imagine it pairing a combination of pear, walnuts and blue cheese rather well." - Jancis Robinson, April 25, 2006 |
