Hachette
"This cuvée showcases young (15-year-old) Viognier vines planted on clay-limestone soil. The nose is subtle yet elegant, evoking lime blossom and honeysuckle. Continuing the floral theme with a hint of aniseed, the palate is supple and fresh, with excellent harmony." (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

About wine:
This cuvée showcases young (15-year-old) Viognier vines planted on clay-limestone soil. The nose is subtle yet elegant, evoking lime blossom and honeysuckle. On the same floral note, enhanced by a hint of aniseed, the palate is supple and fresh, with excellent harmony.
About the estate:
The origins of the estate, which has been passed down through six generations, date back to 1864. The property boasts a 25-hectare vineyard planted on a variety of terroirs. At the helm since 1989, Pierre and Marie-Claude Fontaneil have been producing wines with strong personalities for nearly 30 years, including both dry wines and naturally sweet wines. In 2017, they sold the estate to a young couple of winemakers, Élodie and Matthieu Collet.
