The vineyards grow across steep terraces with granitic and alluvial soils. Thus, much of the vineyard work is done by hand and uses sustainable agricultural practices.

Taste Profile:Caves Yves CuilleronViognier is simply remarkable. Delightful bouquet of white peach, citrus blossom and honeysuckle. The medium-bodied palate is dry with a bright acidity and distinctly oily texture. Fuzzy apricot, peachy and lemon citrus flavours with nuances of honey and ground almonds.

Winemaking Process:Manual harvesting of the grapes then natural alcoholic and malolactic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine then ages for 7 months on its lees, 2/3 in wooden vats and barriques with regular batonnage. Light filtering before bottling.
