Tropical fruit and flower aromas: lychees, white peaches, and violets

Specifications
VinificationHandpicked harvest of well-ripened grapes. Alcoholic fermentation in barrels, controlled temperature between 15 and 18°C. Malolactic fermentation in barrels. Viognier produces rich and aromatic wines. This product is fermented in barrels thereby offering just the right oxygenation to highlight its aromas, all the while avoiding heaviness. The mineral characteristics of the terroir come to the fore, bringing out a sensation of freshness.
Élevage7 to 8 months in fine grain oak barrels (Allier and Nevers). 5% at the most in new oak. Stirring on lees once a week. The wines are matured and stirred on lees during the entire maturing period in view of preserving their mineral notes, all the while enriching their structure on the palate.
Vineyard SoilFine sand made up of detrital granite facing directly south
Tasting NotesTropical fruit and flower aromas: lychees, white peaches, and violets; lovely minerality and freshness.
