Château Grillet is an appellation in the Rhône Valley which is planted solely to one permitted variety, Viognier, and is occupied by a single producer who shares the same name. It has been cultivated since Roman times, was granted appellation status in 1936 and even declared a National Heritage site in 1976. The appellation, vineyard and winery were owned by the Neyret-Gachet family since 1827 but was sold to Francois Pinault of Château Latour in 2011.

2016 was an excellent vintage in the region and this is a sublime release with abundant rich fruits but classic zesty freshness. Decadent, silky and incredibly long on the palate, it exhibits a wonderful core of honeyed stone fruits with delightful mineral accents. A classic release that is drinking brilliantly in youth but will evolve over the next decade.

95 Vinous
Translucent gold. A highly complex bouquet evokes ripe citrus and pit fruits, violet, candied fig and smoky minerals that show fine definition and spicy lift. Stains the palate with concentrated Meyer lemon, nectarine, melon and honeysuckle flavors that are supported by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Densely packed and powerful yet surprisingly lithe as well. Shows outstanding energy and resonating mineral and floral qualities on an impressively long, sappy finish.Josh Raynolds1st May 2020
