The Best Viogniers from France

Cultivated on the steep slopes of the northern Rhône Valley, Viogniers pop up in various styles – from light and textured to creamy and luscious. Depending on the producer, Viognier is aged in French oak to step up its complexity. Added to Syrah, it smoothens the edges and allows a real floral lift. The broodier versions of Viognier reveal notes of crushed white petals with nutmeg and clove in the backdrop, smooth as silk. Here is Falstaff’s selection of the best.
