Description
GeneralOf all the “Les Jamelles” wines, our Viognier is the one that is currently the most fashionable with wine lovers. With its fruity aromas, roundness and freshness, Viognier is a white grape variety that is well worth discovering.Varietal100% ViognierVinificationEarly harvesting. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats (15 to 18°C) to preserve as much fruit and freshness as possible. Any risk of oxidation is avoided in order to preserve the full aromatic potential of the grapes. Finally, the wine is aged for several months in vats on its lees in order to develop its characteristic floral scents. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out.Tasting notes- Appearance: Lovely pale gold colour. Relatively syrupy consistence.
– Nose: A rich, very aromatic wine. Lots of characteristic fruity scents (varietal aromas), such as apricots and fresh peaches. It also displays floral nuances, such as acacia flowers, lilies and, in particular, the famous “blue lavender” of Provence, together with a hint of fresh bananas.
– Palate: Our Viognier is very rich, round and syrupy on the palate, but displays good freshness and acidity, which prevents it from being too heavy. The richness and acidity are exceptionally well-balanced. A honeyed finish.Food and WineIdeal as an aperitif, with seafood, fish or slightly bitter tasting vegetables, such as asparagus, which is sweetened by our Viognier. It is also goes very well with fruit tarts (a rather original match!).
