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.

Whereas François made the Rocky Nuns primarily for freshness and grape expression, this Sélection Parcellaire challenges luxury Northern Rhônes such as the famous Condrieu. François harvests the grapes by hand in his own vineyards in Costières de Nîmes. In the cellar, a chic treatment follows.

After cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks (for optimal preservation of the fruity aromas), a malolactic fermentation follows, which gives the wine a deliciously creamy taste. Subsequently, François ages 80% of the Viognier for six months in oak vats. During aging, he stirs the yeasts regularly for a more intense, complex flavor.

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