Combe Pilate Collines Rhodaniennes White Viognier 2024

Combe Pilate is a biodynamic white wine from Alchimie, a project dedicated to expressing the Rhône Valley's most compelling terroirs through respectful, low-intervention viticulture. Produced under the Collines Rhodaniennes appellation, this 2024 Viognier is a terroir-driven white that captures the aromatic intensity and mineral freshness characteristic of the northern Rhône's hillside vineyards.

Viognier is a notoriously expressive variety — in the right hands and the right soils, it delivers a mouthfeel and aromatic complexity that few white grapes can match. The granite and schist-rich slopes of the Collines Rhodaniennes provide an ideal backdrop, lending structure and tension to what could otherwise become an overly rich, heavy wine. Alchimie's biodynamic approach — guided by lunar cycles and free from synthetic inputs — ensures that the vineyard's character speaks clearly in the glass.

As a young, unoaked Viognier, Combe Pilate 2024 is expected to show the variety's hallmark aromatic profile: white blossom, ripe stone fruit such as peach and apricot, and subtle violet notes typical of this grape at its most pristine. On the palate, expect a generous, rounded entry balanced by lively acidity, with a finish that lingers with floral and fruit echoes. Its youth makes it best enjoyed within the next one to three years, when freshness and aromatics are at their peak.

This biodynamic Viognier from the Rhône Valley pairs beautifully with steamed shellfish, white fish with fragrant herb sauces, light risottos and fresh soft cheeses. It also works exceptionally well as a sophisticated aperitif wine for gatherings where quality and provenance matter.
