A&E Verset, Viognier, NV [2024] SO021226 Piero Busso producing ultra-traditional styles of NebbioloA rare white from the heart of Syrah country. Emmanuelle Verset planted this Viognier in 2015 in the lieu dit Tracoles on the plains of Cornas, land that historically grew apricots, and the fruit shows it. Bottled as Vin de France, it's a small production glimpse of the perfumed, fleshy side of the Northern Rhone from a sixth generation grower farming organically with cover crops between the rows. Drink it young while its floral lift is at its peak.
