Julien Pilon’s Mon Grand-Père Était Limonadier is Viognier reimagined—lighter, fresher, and way more vibrant than your typical Rhône white.

The 2023 vintage opens with citrus blossoms, ripe apricot, and a hint of bergamot, backed by refreshing acidity and just a touch of creamy texture. It’s unoaked, unheavy, and beautifully drinkable—more about lift and aromatics than lushness. The name (“My grandfather was a lemonade seller”) is a wink at the wine’s breezy, zesty style, and it more than lives up to it.

It’s Viognier for people who think they don’t like Viognier—aromatic and flavorful, but clean and crisp. A perfect intro to Pilon’s elegant, modern style.

Perfect for: sushi, spicy noodles, roast chicken, spring veggies, or any time you want a white that’s both expressive and super easy to love.
