Comtesse Marion Viognier 750ml

Evan - Wine Specialist, Woodland Hills

Comtesse Marion is one of my favorite “value labels” out there. Based in the village of Vias within the Languedoc-Roussillon region (South of France), all their wines are 100% estate and showcase the volcanic soil of the region. They are particularly famous for one of my favorite varietals, Viognier. A beautiful, vibrant wine that can be paired with pretty much anything and, at only $12 a bottle, will likely become a wine fridge staple for you.

Comtesse Marion Viognier opens with complex aromas of elderflower, lime zest, and honeydew melon. On the palate, notes of luscious stone fruit like nectarine and white peach give way to Anjou pear and cantaloupe. Unlike most viognier, this wine has a fresh, intense acidity that compliments the vibrant fruit and luxurious silky texture. Pairs particularly well with roasted chicken, spicy Asian dishes, and soft cheeses.
