Description
The Clémence Viognier was awarded the special Swiss prize (the best score among all the wines of the country), during the Citadelles du Vin competition in Bourg 2020.
The Clémence Viognier, from a thousand year old vineyard, is characterised by fruit aromas that smell of summer. Underneath a dominant of white peach, one guesses apricot, pear and citrus fruits. Little by little, subtle floral notes enhance this complex wine, which has a brilliant and limpid colour that invites you to taste it. Its supple, unctuous and fresh attack continues on the palate with an elegant woodiness, characteristic of the maturation in French oak barrels.
