Le Petit Viognier

Viognier was born in our beautiful region perhaps 2000 years ago. Legend has it that the Roman emperor Probus brought him here from the East to the 3rd century AD; it is also likely to come from crosses of eastern vines brought by the Romans and wild regional vines after a long empirical selection.

"Le Petit Viognier" was the name of a variety of Viognier in the middle of the XIXth century, not very poductive and reserved on the hillsides.

Wine tending to golden, brilliant.

On the palate it is a taut, straight and mineral wine.
