Winemaker Notes
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.
Chateau de Campuget in Costieres de Nimes is a beautiful domaine dating back to 1640. The property has belonged to the Dalle family since 1941.
