2010 Taburnum, Vins de Pays, Les Vins De Vienne

Taburnum, Vins de Pays, Les Vins De Vienne
Eponymous south-facing terraces on schist soils, located on the Seyssuel hillside are the source of this oak-fermented Viognier. The 2010 is a splendid effort, with classy Viognier writ large with all the usual tell-tale descriptors, but also, pleasingly distinct points of difference, evidenced in particular by gentle white pepper and soft spices.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

If one believes the old adage about imitation and flattery, then Les Vins de Vienne should be justifiably proud of the numerous growers now making wine from the ancient vineyards of Seyssuel, just to the north of the old Roman town of Vienne. The role of the founders, Messrs Gaillard, Cuilleron and Villard is now one of benevolent consultancy and today it is winemaker Pascal Lombard who is guiding the style and building the reputation. In the manner of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, the off-spring has now out-grown all three of its progenitors, but this does not seem to have had a detrimental effect on quality, particularly with the Domaine wines, the best of which are offered below.
