Presentation
In Greek mythology, "Elysée" represented a paradise of eternal peace and happiness, reserved for heroes. Inspired by this symbol of perfection, the "Elysée" range brings together single-varietal wines from the tranquil and sun-kissed terroirs of the Pays d’Oc, in the south of France. Each of these wines embodies the expertise of our winemaking heroes, and we hope it brings you, as the legend suggests, a small dose of happiness.
Terroir
This Viognier comes from the sunny terroirs of Hérault and the Upper Aude Valley, where the altitude brings cool nights and regular rainfall perfectly balances the climate.
In the vineyard
The vineyards are grown on hillsides at an altitude of 150 to 200 m 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.
