Viognier: a grape variety of a thousand nuances

If you enjoy white wines with captivating aromas, allow us to introduce a grape variety that deserves your full attention: Viognier. Native to the Rhône Valley, it was long cultivated in quiet obscurity before experiencing a true revival. Today, it seduces lovers of great whites with its intense aromatic profile and velvety texture.

Unique aromas and a beautiful roundness

Viognier stands out for its generous notes of apricot, white peach, white flowers and sometimes honey. Unlike other livelier white grape varieties, it offers an ample and silky palate with a beautiful aromatic persistence.

Rhône Viognier vs Languedoc Viognier: What are the differences?

While Viognier is historically linked to the Rhône Valley — notably in Condrieu, where it gives rise to rich and opulent wines — it expresses a fresher and more sun-drenched profile when grown in the Languedoc.
In this Mediterranean region, under the influence of sea breezes and varied soils, Viognier retains a beautiful liveliness while developing a slightly more exotic aromatic palette. Its floral and fruity notes are enhanced by a touch of minerality, making the wines balanced, indulgent and very approachable.
