Description
Grape variety 100% Viognier. Vineyard This Viognier vintage comes from a blend of four plots, all located on plateaus overlooking the north of the Rhone Valley. The altitude of 300 m and the less sunny exposure than the vines of neighboring appellations (Condrieu – Saint-Joseph) allow to preserve a maximum of freshness in the wines.
Terroir Granite soil, sandy, not very well-founded.
Vinification All the plots are harvested manually and vinified separately.
After pressing, the musts are severely clarified. Alcoholic fermentation at low temperature is slow and malolactic fermentation is complete.
Aged 10 months on lees in used barrels of 225 l and 400 l.
Alcoholic content 13% vol.
Tasting A beautiful nose of a Rhone Viognier with its notes of citrus and apricot.
The mouth remains fresh and digestible.
