"Magnificent Viognier grown on beautiful sunny terraces".
Southern exposure and beautiful terraces are the basis for a great Viognier. This cuvée seduces with its sweet perfumes of flowers, white fruits and mild spices. It's a nod to Condrieu with its generous aromas.

About the domain :
The trio of Villard, Cuilleron and Gaillard began the Vins de Vienne adventure in the late 1990s. Initially, the idea was to breathe new life into the superb, forgotten terroirs of Seyssuel, one of the Rhône Valley's first vineyards: of the 16 hectares of vines, 11 were planted between 1996 and 2001. Over the years, the range has expanded with the purchase of new grapes. While the wines from the Seyssuel terroirs remain admirable and are the hallmark of the domaine, the other cuvées are less convincing, leading us to withdraw the star from the domaine this year.
