Grape(s): 100% Viognier.

 The vines exposed directly south are used for the cuvée « Ayguets » , situated on terrasses above the town of Chavanay. Their exposure and sensitivity to botrytis favors particularly the over-ripeness of the grapes. The soil composition is muscovite granite. Organic fertilizer used, low-yield harvest, effeuillage, green harvest. The grapes with botrytis or dried and shriveled are picked manually and many successive sortings take place. Pressing, débourbage. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in barrels during winter. Total ageing time in barrels is 8 months.

A sweet wine (containing 100g/L of residual sugar), it possesses a caressing, well-integrated sweetness and the freshness in the mouth gives a sense of balance revealing aromas of yellow fruit confits, quince, and honey. Accompanies lightly sweetened desserts, cheese, “toast de Roquefort Papillon et noix.” Annual production: approximately 4.500 bottles

Maturity: now-2019
