Percheron Chenin Blanc Viognier 2024 Description
The nose reveals layers of white peach and jasmine, with subtle floral perfume that draws you in. Swirling releases hints of honeysuckle and citrus blossom, creating an inviting aromatic profile.
On the palate, expect tight, fleshy stone fruit - apricot and white peach dominate - balanced by a distinctive sandy texture that adds complexity. The wine displays excellent structure with bright, refreshing acidity that cuts through the fruit beautifully. Minerality shines through, adding a crisp, clean finish that lingers pleasantly.
The mouthfeel is elegant and medium-bodied, with the Viognier component contributing richness whilst the Chenin Blanc provides characteristic freshness and definition. The interplay between the stone fruit flavours and mineral notes creates a well-rounded, characterful wine that rewards careful tasting.
Finish is clean and persistent, with a subtle saline quality that enhances the overall freshness. This is a wine that evolves in the glass, revealing new nuances as it opens up.
Grilled prawns with plenty of garlic and chilli, whole lemon sole fried in butter and also delicate freshwater fish dishes.
