Description

François Collard is getting a better handle on the Viognier grape. This tempting Viognier Sélection Parcellaire is the successor to Mourgues du Grès' beloved Rocky Nuns Viognier and at the same time a nice upgrade.

While François crafted the Rocky Nuns primarily for freshness and grape expression, this Sélection Parcellaire challenges luxury Northern Rhônes wines like the renowned Condrieu. François hand-harvests the grapes in his own vineyards in Costières de Nîmes. In the cellar, they undergo a sophisticated treatment.

After cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks (to optimally preserve the fruity aromas), malolactic fermentation follows, which gives the wine a wonderfully creamy flavor. François then matures 80% of the Viognier for six months in oak barrels. During aging, he regularly stirs the yeasts to create a more intense and complex flavor.

The result is a full-bodied, luxurious, and creamy Viognier: a true mini-Condrieu! Enjoy this opulence on its own or paired with refined dishes like Bresse chicken with morels, saffron-infused scallops, or turbot in a creamy sauce.
