Presentation
Built in 1163 in Paris, France, the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris is one of the main historical monuments in the world. After suffering a devastating fire in April 2019, the cathedral remains more alive than ever. This N.D.P. vintage is a tribute to this exceptional monument and its history.
Terroir
This Viognier comes from the Hérault region and the Upper Aude Valley where the climate is sunny, the rainfall is frequent, and the nights are cool thanks to the altitude.
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.
