What reviewers say
“**Sleeper alert** Deep gold, medial body, copious slow legs. Serve @50F. Ultra shy nose: Green apple, lemon pith, pomello and a touch of fennel. Decant 20 minutes. Palate break is unripe pear, Asian pear, apple and lemon zest. Crème fraîche (light cream) mid. Vegetal white pepper uptick. Saline minerality, small flint smoke tannins. Unsalted butter and a calculated combination of all aforementioned notes in a simple close, done right. Unwavering taste is definitely worthy of repeating.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Soline Viognier is a French white from Pays d'Oc.
94 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 94 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. 7,335 other whites from France form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Soline Viognier lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · France (7,336 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 94.
