2019 Vincent Paris VdP Ardeche Granit Blanc

From a parcel of Viognier and Roussanne at the very top of the Cornas slope. Before global warming, this location was too cold for any grape farming, but Vincent spotted an opportunity and now produces a bright, floral white wine with a little bit of grip and voluptuousness. Almost nobody else in Cornas makes white wine; appellation rules do not even permit the word Cornas on a white wine, hence Ardèche Blanc. (NT 21/01/20)
