Maison Nicolas Perrin Viognier 2015

TASTING Colour

Pale yellow colour, with bright undertones. Nose: Aromatic with notes of citrus fruit and white flowers. Mouth: Quite a tense wine (the opposite to full bodied and buttery). This wine is crisp, mineral and has a lovely final. 

DESCRIPTION

An entry level white wine. We chose the Viognier variety because it is aromatic and brings great minerality. This wine offers immediate pleasure and will be perfect with aperitifs to accompany your seafood amuse-bouche.

TERROIR

The wine is produced from vines planted at altitude, mainly on the Coteaux d’Ardèche.

THE VINTAGE

For the appellations of the northern Rhone Valley, 2015 was a truly exceptional year, almost without precedent! After a mild, wet winter and particularly high temperatures in spring, summer brought a heatwave even hotter than 2003. Welcome rain arrived in abundance in mid-August, followed anew by glorious sunshine and a providential wind that guaranteed perfect sanitary conditions and a regular and rapid ripening of the grapes. And so the harvest benefited from optimum conditions during the first two weeks of September.

PROCESS

Fermentation and ageing takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. The idea is to preserve the freshness and aromatics of the wine. Bottling takes place in the spring.
