M. Chapoutier - Domaine Tournon Mathilda Viognier/Marsanne is a compelling concoction from Victoria, Australia. This palatable, unoaked blend delivers a balanced marriage of the two French-origin grapes, Viognier and Marsanne. The Viognier contributes the floral, aromatic profile ideal for aperitifs, whilst the Marsanne complements with a rich, nutty character perfect for poultry pairings. The result is a luminous, golden hue giving way to an aromatic bouquet of peaches and blossoms. On the palate, it exhibits luscious fruit-forward notes with subtle hints of almond and honey undertones. It is an exceptional white with elevated freshness and sophisticated complexity.
