- Pure peach and apricot aromas are lifted with hints of acacia flowers. Full and creamy with a distinctive mineral expression and a subtle Condrieu saline complexity supporting the ripe stone fruit flavours. This is a pure expression of a very fine Viognier. The vines are manually cultivated without the use of residual herbicide or insecticide.
The grapes were manually harvested at full maturity of 13 to 14 degrees, then meticulously sorted and pressed. After a static temperature-controlled must settling, the clear juice was fermented in 20-hectolitre oak vats, lasting approximately four to five weeks. The wine matured on its fine lees in oak barrels and foudres (vats).
Pure peach and apricot aromas are lifted with hints of acacia flowers. The palate is full and creamy, with a distinctive mineral expression and a subtle Condrieu saline complexity supporting the ripe stone fruit flavours. This is a pure expression of a very fine Viognier.

| Winery | A patchwork of small plots covering four hectares in the lieu-dits of Sainte Agathe and La Caille located in the heart of Condrieu. The vines are planted on steep south-facing granite, biotite terraces where machines are impossible; therefore, the vineyard is maintained manually and sustainably, without weed killers or insecticides. The average age of vines is 35 years, and they are planted on Richter 110 rootstocks and trained using the simple Guyot method. Planted at a density of between 8,000 to 10,000 vines per hectare, they yield 35 hectolitres per hectare. The vineyard is certified organic. |
