description Château Grillet Overview
Château Grillet is a historic Rhône Valley wine estate in France whose vineyards also form the separate Château-Grillet appellation. The appellation is dedicated to Viognier, and the vines are planted on steep, terraced slopes that distinguish the site from more broadly defined regional wine areas. The name is therefore used for both a single-estate wine property and its appellation, making it relevant to readers studying Rhône geography, Viognier, and the way French wine law links a place to a specific wine.
