White wine elaborated by Paul Jaboulet Aîné. It is a 100% viognier cuvée sourced from vines located in the Ventoux region, a sunny area with cool nights located south of the Rhône Valley.
Production:
Hand-harvested grapes from high altitude vineyards are transported to the winery in small crates where is directly whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation is carried out at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve all the aromas of the viognier. After that, the wine is matured for six months on its fine lees.
Tasting Notes:
Fresh wine with a marked varietal character, clean, seductive, and exotic. Fragrant nose of white flowers, stone white fruit, and exotic fruits, mango and pineapple, with a slight honeysuckle aroma. Rich palate, flavourful, and vibrant acidity.
