2005 Granges de Mirabel Viognier, Vin de
Pays de L'Ardèche, M Chapoutier - South West France
Facing south on volcanic hills at the foot of the Coiron plateau, the
micro-climate is very favourable to the growth and ripening of Viognier grapes.
This creates a good intensity of acacia and violet aromas and a roundness and
freshness on the palate, characteristic of viognier from volcanic
soils.
