Les Deux Albions Blanc shows the salty minerality typical of limestone terroir with notes of dried apricots and white flowers. The plantings near Violès include Bourboulenc, Marsanne, Viognier, Picpoul, Clairette, and Ugni Blanc, and all varieties will be included in future bottlings.
Viognier aged in neutral barrels has a full body and rich texture with just-medium acidity. It is easily paired with dishes that feature creamy sauces, mild white fish, and roasted pork or chicken. Picpoul brings acidity to the blend and gives this wine salinity, making it a superb choice for cooked or raw shellfish.

The 2020 Principauté D'Orange Les Deux Albion Blanc is mostly Viognier and Marsanne, and it offers more stone fruits and peach notes as well as some classic Southern Rhône chalky minerality. Medium-bodied, clean, and elegant, drink it over the coming couple of years.
