Comes across as slightly tarry and rubbery, which distracts from the otherwise crisp citrus and melon flavors. Still, it's a pleasant, medium-bodied quaff.——J.C.(4/1/2010)—— 85

The medium gold-colored 2003 Viognier Cuvee Prestige exhibits an intoxicating/heady nose of white flowers intermixed with lychee nut, apricot jam, and acacia scents. With good acidity, medium body, and a short but pleasant finish, it will drink well for a year or so. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083

The 2002 Cuvee Prestige (100% barrel-aged Viognier) exhibits a terrific bouquet of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, peaches, and tropical fruits. Medium-bodied and filled with fruit yet structured, with good underlying acidity to provide freshness and focus, it should be drunk over the next year.

The 2001 is the finest Viognier de Campuget I have tasted. White peaches burst from the glass of this boisterous wine. It is produced from yields below 40 hectoliters per hectare. It coats the palate with waves of plump apricots, juicy peaches, and spices. This plump, thick, medium-bodied wine is crammed with fruit, well-balanced, and an ideal aperitif. Drink it over the next 12 months. Note: The wines tasted for this report are special cuvees produced specifically for its US importer.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel.

A small dose of Muscat (5%) was included in the blend of the 1999 Viognier de Campuget Cuvee Prestige. Aromatically, fresh white peaches are intermingled with orange rinds in this lovely, character-full offering. Crisp yellow fruits, potpourri, perfume, and apricots are found in its softly textured, medium-bodied character. This excellent value will serve as a first-rate aperitif if consumed over the next 12-18 months. Importer: ROBERT KACHER SELECTIONS, 2015 Vine Street NE, Washington, DC 20018; tel.
