Presentation
The "BADET CLEMENT" wines come from the Pays d'Oc, where the expertise and passion of the House's oenologists come to life. Each carefully crafted cuvée reveals the full richness of the selected grape varieties, with authentic and full-bodied wines. Guided by a love of the terroir, our oenologists create wines designed to be shared. With each glass, there is an opportunity to live a unique experience, much more than just a simple tasting.
Terroir
This Viognier originates from the region of Hérault and the Upper Aude Valley where the climate is sunny, with frequent rains and cool nights due to the altitude.
In the vineyard
The 10-year-old vines are grown on hillsides at an altitude of 150 to 200 meters and pruned in "Guyot" (trellised) on limestone soils rich in pebbles. Yields are low (40 hl/ha).
Winemaking
The harvest is early. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with temperature control (15° to 18°C). There is no malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The breeding lasts several months in tanks on fine lees.
Varietal
Viognier : 100%
Tasting
Of a pretty pale gold color, our Viognier is rich and very aromatic with many fruity scents: apricot and fresh peach. Floral nuances (acacia flowers) can also be distinguished. It is round on the palate, with an exceptional balance between richness and acidity, and great freshness.
Food pairings
Serve chilled (8°C) as an aperitif, with Asian cuisine, seafood, fish, or asparagus. Perfect with fruit tarts.
