Farming type

Biodynamic

Terroir

Clay and limestone terraces located on the town of Châteauneuf sur Isère. Draining soil with detrital pebbles.

Winemaking

Harvest at maturity and manual sorting on the vines. Destemming at 100% Direct pressing at low pressure. 
The wine was entirely vinified and matured for 8 months in stainless steel vats in order to keep a nice freshness.

Tasting

Charismatic!
On the nose, the wine reveals superb notes of dried apricots, hay and a very light touch of butterscotch. Exotic and all in finesse which is not an easy task in this sector. Here is a viognier of great finesse that rivals on the nose with a Condrieu.
On the palate, the attack is ample and rich as one would expect.
The acidity preserved thanks to the stainless steel maturation allows to balance the wine by bringing freshness. 
A charismatic and serious Viognier with a wine made using biodynamic methods. Nice for the price!
