Clos du Père Clément
Le Moulinas Viognier
Vin de Pays de la Drome
 

The Depeyre family in the town of Visan produces this Viognier in the Southern Rhône river valley. Jean-Paul Depeyre loves to grow and product wine from Viognier, even though it is not a permitted grape variety in white Côtes du Rhône wine, so he simply calls it country wine from his local region, the Drome.

This wine is produced using whole grape cluster maceration before pressing the grapes. The temperature is then lowered to 10ºC for 24 hours after which the juice is transferred to older oak barrels for fermentation and ageing for three months following before final filtration & bottling.

The wine has a brilliant golden color with a fine and complex nose of apricots and violets with notes of grapefruit. The oak comes in with more mature notes and a hint of liquorices.

Refreshing and easy to drink, this aromatic and floral wine is medium to full-bodied that can accompany fish, white meats, and seafoods in sauce.
