Julien Pilon - Viognier "mon grand-père était limonadier"

 Viognier "mon grand-père était limonadier"

Grape variety 100% Viognier.
Vineyard: This Viognier cuvée comes from a blend of four plots, all located on plateaus overlooking the north of the Rhône valley. The altitude of 300 m and the exposure less solar than the vineyards of neighboring appellations (Condrieu - Saint-Joseph)
allow to keep a maximum of freshness in the wines.
Terroir Granitic, sandy soil, poorly founded.
Vinification: All the plots are harvested manually and vinified separately.
After pressing, the musts are severely settled. Alcoholic fermentation
at low temperature is slow and malolactic fermentation is complete.
Aging 10 months on lees in second-hand barrels of 225 l and 400 l.
Alcoholic degree 13% vol.
Number of bottles 15,000 bottles.
Tasting Intense and typical nose of a Rhôdanien viognier, with notes of citrus and apricots. Full mouth with a real digestible frame.
Aging Consume when young, within 2-3 years.
