Chateau Grillet 2005
Description
With great concentration and fine acidity, this wine charms slowly in the glass but has a hauntingly long finish and a delicious palate of nuts and white orchard fruit underscored by a fine minerality.
What others think of this wine...
Jancis Robinson in The Financial Times says:Neyret-Gachet 2005/6 Château-Grillet 17.5 Drink 2009-12
This famous property just south of Condrieu is really back on track. Intense orangey apricot nose. Very pure Viognier character. Creamy from the use of older oak. Fine purity. Fresh and long. Archetypal. The 2006 is also amazing. 13%
Robert Jarman in The Field says:If you want better value for money try some of the seriously underrated Rhône wines such as 2001 Hermitage Rouge from Gérard and Jean-Louis Chave (£120 per bottle), or 2005 Vin Blanc de Château Grillet from Isabelle Baratin-Canet (£52 per bottle) from Yapp.
