Packshot - Maison de la Villette Viognier

Maison De La Villette, Viognier, Blanc, 2024

Presentation

A distinctive French Viognier which combines a rich fruity profile, roundness and freshness.

Terroir

In the Hérault département and Aude Valley in the South of the Minervois (limestone and pebbles soils, sunny climate and enough rainfall, thanks to the neighbouring mountains of the Cévennes and Pyrenees).

Winemaking

Early harvesting. Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats (15 to 18°C). Any risk of oxidation is avoided. The wine is aged for several months in vats on its lees. No malolactic fermentation.

Varietal

Viognier

Tasting

A very aromatic wine with lots of characteristic fruity scents (apricots, fresh peaches). Floral nuances of acacia flowers, lilies and «blue lavender», together with a hint of fresh bananas.
