Tournée du Sud Viognier 2024
£9.75
The wine
Viognier is the signature white grape of the northern Rhône, where it makes Condrieu at considerable expense. Grown in the warm south it gives the same apricot and white-blossom perfume in a rounder, more approachable form, and at a fraction of the price. Part of the Tournee du Sud range, a tour of the south of France told through its wines.
The producer
Tournée du Sud
View all Tournée du Sud winesTournee du Sud is built on a simple idea: a tour of the south of France, told through its wines rather than its roads. The name nods to the cycling tradition of the region, and to the touriste-routiers who rode it for the pleasure of the thing.
The range moves across the appellations of the Midi, picking up a Picpoul de Pinet from beside the Etang de Thau, a Sauvignon Blanc, a Viognier, a Pinot Noir and a Merlot along the way. Each is chosen to show its grape and its corner of the south clearly, at a price that invites everyday drinking.
