From the 2011 vintage, the technical team decided on an even stricter selection for the wines going into the Château-Grillet blend. Analysis and comparative tasting of the different parcels showed that certain wines have not yet achieved the high level required for Château-Grillet. Nevertheless, this has allowed us to create an excellent Côtes-du-Rhône, made entirely from Viognier, which has much to offer with very good fruit and plenty of charm. This wine has simply been named "Côtes-du-Rhône", like the appellation it belongs to.

The elegant fruity freshness of the Côtes-du-Rhône of Château Grillet can be appreciated in its youth, the perfect accompaniment for jellied ham with parsley, seared bass fillet, a salad of grilled vegetables marinated in olive oil, or even a platter of sushi and sashimi.
