Super Viognier styling with apricot in abundance and lots of sweet, candied complexity. It's definitely worthy of the baby-Condrieu nickname. (RH)

Looking first at the 2021 Viognier Le Pied De Samson, which comes from the upper plateau around the winery, it has a pretty, medium-bodied, fresher yet still textured style as well as textbook Condrieu-like aromatics of white peach, honeyed grapefruit, and salty, mineral nuances. Drink this balanced, elegant Viognier over the coming year or three.
