Domaine Louis Clerc, Condrieu Viognier 2015, France

France does some wine so much better than other countries.

Drink this a little on the warmer side to release the aromas and flavours. The first glass I had was far too cold, an hour out of the fridge and it really opens up. Its a lovely dark lemon colour, not gold but more than the usual lemon. You get smells of ripe pineapple, lemon, peach and vanilla. Taste wise its dry, medium body with a good hit of acidity. Its the peach and lemon flavors that come out first with a bit of oak, vanilla in the background.

Its got excellent length and at about £15 a bottle is very good value.

This would go well with baked Camembert, wrapped in Palmer ham, shortcrust pastry and branston pickle, see the bringoutthebranston Instagram page for their take on baked Camembert.
