Chateau de Campuget Prestige Viognier 2009

The Viognier Cuvée Prestige exhibits a terrific bouquet of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, peaches, and tropical fruits. Medium-bodied and filled with fruit yet structured, with good underlying acidity to provide freshness and focus.

Viognier grapes, with their floral notes, seem to blend best with aged cow's or goat's milk cheeses. More specifically, try Viognier with bloomy rind and washed rind types. Avoid sheep's milk cheeses, which result in a gamey flavor when paired with Viognier, as well as blues, which overall result in disappointing pairings.
