A Languedoc Viognier

2005 Coteaux du Languedoc Viognier
Laurent Miguel “Nord Sud”
Jen's Notes
$9.99

K&L says this tastes like a baby Condrieu, which happily turned out to be an apt description. The aromas are crisp and floral, with a clean characteristic that reminded me of freshly washed shirts drying in the sun. The palate is similarly crisp and clean, with intense floral flavors, slightly honeyed, and firm minerality underneath. It is a fantastic value, and if you're looking for inexpensive Viognier, I would definitely skip over any California offering and pick this up from K&L instead.
