Bijou Terre de Providence Viognier

Old volcanic soil composed of 70% schist.

Located north of the village of Minerve. The vineyards are planted on a mix of alluvial soils and gravel deposits, providing good drainage and naturally moderating vine vigour. These conditions encourage even ripening and healthy fruit development, well suited to managing Viognier in a warm Mediterranean setting while preserving balance and aromatic clarity.

Viognier from the Coteaux de Peyriac requires careful, protective vinification to preserve aromatics and avoid oxidation. Grapes are machine-harvested at night, then de-stemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation with selected yeasts takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 15 to 18 days at 14–16 °C, with minimal oxygen exposure to retain freshness and delicate fruit character.

Pale gold in colour, this Viognier shows expressive aromas of white peach, apricot and blossom, with subtle hints of citrus. The palate is rounded yet fresh, combining ripe stone fruit with balanced acidity and a clean, focused finish.

Ideal with grilled white fish, roasted chicken, or lightly spiced dishes such as Thai or Middle Eastern cuisine, where the wine’s aromatic profile and freshness complement both texture and seasoning.
