2007 La Rosine Viognier, Vin de Pays, Domaine Michel et Stéphane Ogier

Viognier is a difficult grape to manage at harvest – pick too early and the wine can be surprisingly vegetal, too late and it will quickly become flabby. Stéphane Ogier's Vin de Pays is one of the finest examples of its kind. These grapes were clearly picked at the perfect moment; the fruit is soft but eloquent, gently persuasive and charming.
