“So delicious”
Primavera evokes the scents of spring and the flowers that carpet the vineyard rows. This well-crafted Viognier is a true delight, with its invigorating style and aromas of spices, lemon, orange, and nectarine. It’s full of vitality, fresh, and boasts a juicy acidity.

Wine rated 89/100 (2020 vintage)
Rated estate (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
What a meteoric rise for this up-and-coming winemaker, who has been in business since only 2009. His constant care for his various vineyards and meticulous work in the cellar have enabled him to produce Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, and Côte-Rôtie wines that rank among the very best in their respective appellations. In 2020, the Côte-Rôtie Fongeant borders on perfection. The challenge for wine lovers will be to get their hands on a few bottles.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Founded in 2008, this winery has been gaining recognition year after year. It has gradually expanded without losing sight of its philosophy: to produce wines with a distinct identity. For reds, the proportion of whole-cluster fermentation varies depending on the cuvée. High-quality aging processes enhance and refine the wines without making them overly smooth. The whites retain their finesse. The quality and consistency of the entire production are remarkable.
