Viognier: a floral and sunny signature of white wines
Viognier is one of the most expressive white grape varieties in the Rh么ne Valley. Long considered a niche variety, it is now enjoying a real renaissance, driven by iconic appellations such as Condrieu.
Instantly recognisable, Viognier captivates with its aromatic intensity: apricot, peach and white flowers. Sometimes with a hint of honey or exotic notes.
On the palate, it offers a full-bodied, almost velvety texture, whilst retaining an elegant freshness.
A demanding grape variety, it requires perfect control over ripeness to reveal its full potential. Harvested too early, it lacks expression; too late, it can lose its balance.
This is where the winemaker鈥檚 expertise comes into play.
Today, Viognier embodies a certain vision of premium white wine: expressive, accessible, yet always refined.
An ideal grape variety for wine lovers seeking emotion and indulgence.
