Éminence De Bijou Viognier
Fast-draining sandy soils.
The grapes are sourced from an exceptional single vineyard in Coteaux de Béziers. The fast-draining sandy soils retain less heat, preserving acidity and aromatics; while the strong Cers wind balances high summer temperatures, enhancing quality.
The Viognier grapes undergo a three-day cold soak to extract phenolic material, followed by gentle pressing and cold settling. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve bright, primary fruit expression. The wine is then aged on fine lees for three months, with regular stirring to build texture.
This Viognier shows lifted aromas of peach and apricot. The palate is fresh and focused, with a silky texture and a vibrant finish, offering a restrained and gastronomic expression of the variety.
Well suited to dishes such as roast poultry, veal, grilled white fish, or subtly spiced cuisine, as well as richer vegetable dishes and soft, creamy cheeses.
