The Château Grillet 2019 is a Viognier white wine from the northern Rhône Valley, sourced from a 3.7-hectare monopole. The 2018 vintage showcases the appellation`s distinct profile, often described as restrained compared with Condrieu, exhibiting a focused intensity rather than overt aromatics. It offers subtle aromas of apricot kernel, white peach, jasmine and a persistent, smoky mineral streak. The palate is textured and full, marked by a refined bitterness on the finish and an underlying complexity that requires several years in bottle to reveal its haunting, geological nuance.

The 2019 Château-Grillet is the first vintage under the helm of Jaeok Chu Cramette. Dazzling and flamboyant, its pungent perfume is reminiscent of apricot and peach compote mingling with layers of honey. Ripe guava, lychee, pineapple and mango add a distinctively tropical twist. Stylistically, the 2019 Château-Grillet couldn’t be more different from the less flashy and more nuanced 2020, 2021 and 2022 renditions. The main reason circles back not only to the amount of heat and sunlight during the growing season, but also to the comparatively late harvest between the 9th and 14th of September. Viscously textured, powerful and concentrated, the 2019 Château-Grillet closes with a touch of heat on the eccentric finale. 4,800 bottles produced.Nicolas Greinacher28th March 2024
