"La Vonière is a mini-cuvee of 7,500 bottles that utilizes the maximum 20% Viognier permitted under French law. The result is an immensely fragrant wine that smells as much like a Condrieu as it does a Côte-Rôtie with its peach, apricot, and honeysuckle scents, and smoky, black-raspberry aromas. Because of the high percentage of Viognier, the wine has a dark ruby color, a lush, velvety texture, and gobs of expansive ripe fruit. I was blown away by the elegance and sensual qualities of the 1991."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
