To say I enjoyed tasting this with a customer would be underselling the experience. I could quite happily have this as my everyday go to wine, it has everything you want from white Rhone, including that all important acidity and freshness that perhaps southern Rhone whites don't always have in spades. The mixture of mouth filling fruits is quite delicious, peach, white melon, apricot, apple, there is oak but it is so well intwined that it acts as a perfect seasoning, great length too, just a cracking wine for the money.

Grape variety 12-year-old Viognier (50%), 12-year-old Roussanne (50%) Average yield 30 hl / ha The color is straw yellow of light intensity. The marked aromas of orchard fruit, apricot, peach, mingle with citrus notes such as candied lemon. In the mouth, brioche aromas emerge and reveal the aging in barrels. The finish is long and intense. Serve between 9 and 11 ° C with fish in sauce, sweetbread or a good farm cheese.Winemaker's notes (Dec 2021)
Domaine le Sollier
Domaine le Sollier is the most westerly domaine in Duché d'Uzés in the foothills of the Cévennes based in the village of Monoblet. A largely calcareous mountainous terrain, the Cévennes enjoys a Mediterranean climate of hot days, balanced by cool nights.
What marks out le Sollier is that it lies on a fault, so the 12.5 hectares of vineyards, farmed by Nicolas Olivier and his brothers, have a mix of different soils. Sandstone, marl, limestone and dolomitic deposits are well drained and allow Nicolas to produce eye-catching wines of great purity.
Low intervention winemaking with minimal sulphur, these are beautifully detailed wines of great persistence and immense drinkability.
