I'm always on the lookout for a good well-balanced Viognier. Some can be quite alcoholic with 13.5% usually being the norm, I'd say. Is this one standard in its level of alcohol? <a href="http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/wineweek060425" rel="nofollow">I tracked down the Jancis reference</a>. Your bottle must be the more upscale rendering. Sounds wonderful. By the way, Laurent must be related to Henri Miquel. Henri makes a Viognier under the Ch. Cazal Viel label which is by far the best Viognier of this price range in Quebec. It's $17.50. Just one last question: Is this table wine or is it AOC Coteaux du Languedoc or Vin de pay d'Oc? The front label doesn't say. I suppose it could even be the newly announced AOC Languedoc -- a sweeping appellation still in transition -- though I've yet to see one such bottle.
