Les Jamilles Viognier, 2007

I needed a dry white wine to poach salmon for dinner last night.  I had a bottle of Les Jamilles Viognier in my wine rack so I used that.

Les Jamilles 2007 Viognier is from France.  Alcohol 13%.  It has a gold color.  The aroma and flavor on my palate was more herbacious and earthy as opposed to the aroma in the Winemaker's Notes.  It had a nice creamy finish.  Perfect  for poaching my  salmon and the perfect pairing.

Winemaker's Notes:  
"- Appearance: Lovely pale gold colour. Relatively syrupy consistence.

- Nose: A rich, very aromatic wine. Lots of characteristic fruity scents (varietal aromas), such as apricots and fresh peaches. It also displays floral nuances, such as acacia flowers, lilies and, in particular, the famous "blue lavender" of Provence, together with a hint of fresh bananas.


- Palate: Our Viognier is very rich, round and syrupy on the palate, but displays good freshness and acidity, which prevents it from being too heavy. The richness and acidity are exceptionally well-balanced. A honeyed finish."
