Here, one hundred per cent Viognier produces an often decidedly lush, alcohol-rich white wine with warm, melting fruit, floral aromas and often tones reminiscent of beeswax. The acids here are generally quite low, and so it is a corresponding feat to keep these powerful wines in balance. This succeeds all the better the more mineral the wines turn out. The tops of the region counter power and opulence with astonishing freshness, precision, as well as cooling and backbone-giving minerality so skilfully that it is hard to resist the fascination of these wines, which are quite unique in the world.
