Production notes
Manual harvest and sorting of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation at low temperatures in new parts (1/3) and in stainless steel vats (2/3). 100% malolactic fermentation. This wine is aged for 1/3 in new oak barrels and for 2/3 in stainless steel tanks for eight months.
Tasting notes
Bright and limpid golden yellow color. Very intense nose of violets and fruits. Of remarkable aromatic purity, embellished by a smooth roundness and the expression of the Viognier grape with aromas of white peach and apricot. Lots of fat, richness and smoothness for a dry wine. Harmony between a beautiful freshness and a fruit which bathes in a fleshy roundness. Goes well with foie gras, scrambled truffles and delicate fish. Serve at 12-13 ° C.
