Découverte - IGP Pays d'Oc

A grape variety that was almost forgotten forty years ago, Viognier has been rediscovered and has since become increasingly popular in our beautiful region. Our Découverte is a rich white wine, with aromas of peach, apricot, and violet. Thanks to a light ageing in oak barrels, this wine is both harmonious and complex. It is truly a discovery.

From exceptional parcels grown on an original dried-up pond soil, offering a distinctive salty minerality and a unique natural salinity.

Viognier benefits from an optimal southeast exposure and maximum sunshine throughout the year, typical of the Mediterranean climate of Pays d’Oc.

This unique terroir gives the wine remarkable aromatic richness and complexity, with beautiful concentration of ripe fruit and a distinctive mineral signature that marks each vintage.

Winemaking

An original technique combining 6 hours of skin contact followed by a long, gentle pressing before fermentation, allowing a subtle extraction of Viognier’s delicate aromas. Traditional low-temperature vinification preserves aromatic integrity. Part of the wine is aged in oak barrels, adding elegant structure and extra depth without overpowering the fruity profile. Cold settling ensures maximum juice purity.

Tasting

Nose: Rich and expressive, complex and elegant, revealing characteristic aromas of apricot, white peach, and acacia, with subtle floral nuances
Palate: Full and rich on the attack, with beautiful structure balanced by natural finesse and long aromatic persistence
