A rich, generous wine with intense aromas of peach and apricot and a minerally finish. A wine of great concentration and balance, it has all the qualities to make a great partner to goose or other rich, poultry dishes.
The 2005 Viognier comes from a section of vineyards beside the truffle forest fondly called ‘Les Arbres'. The first crop from fully-ripened grapes were hand harvested, chilled and then whole-bunch pressed gently into 600 litre Demi-Muids wooden barrels. Wild fermentation, with partial malolactic fermentation, have given a full-bodied wine with concentrated flavours of apricot and quince. Soft acidity, wet stone minerality with an impressive and classic finish.
