Viognier 100%
Viognier was originally cultivated in the northern Côtes-du-Rhône. In the last quarter of the 20th century, it has become one of the most popular varieties worldwide after having almost disappeared previously. In 2007, Maison Louis Latour decided to make a wine of 100% Viognier. Our Viognier is planted on more sloping hillsides than the Chardonnay. The wine is produced from hand-picked grapes carefully vinified in Latour’s Ardèche winery on the outskirts of the village of Alba-la-Romaine.
Of a brilliant pale gold color, the Ardèche Viognier offers an intense nose of juicy apricot. In the mouth it is a round and generous wine with apricot and fresh almond notes and goes well with aperitif – duck terrine with chestnuts – seared foie gras with apricots – charcuterie.
