A Baron Rothschild Viognier: Wine Reviewed
Philippe de Rothschild Viognier 2009 Vin de Pays d’Oc 14% alcohol about $10
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note: Clear straw color; apple and melon aromas with floral notes; dry, medium body; melon and apple flavor with touch of citrus for balanced acidity. Serving Suggestion: Serve with pasta salad.“ And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine offered light acidity with a touch of pears and honeysuckle. The first meal centered on chicken breast cubes fried with black pepper, cumin, and Mediterranean spices. The wine played out as before but did lengthen. When it met the accompanying fried onions and brown mushrooms this Viognier sweetened and tasted of caramel. The fresh pineapple dessert rendered the libation somewhat metallic. It had light acidity and the caramel remained.
