Francois Villard Les Contours de Deponcins Viognier 2023 (BV 3-7)

Rich yet refreshing, this wine is full of big character with notes of juicy pear, apricot, and fresh honeysuckle! A gentle touch of oak influence from its barrel ageing gives this wine backbone, while still staying lifted with sparkling acidity and a streak of minerality.  It’s the perfect wine to sip with lighter proteins in cream sauces, butternut squash, or even fried chicken!
