From the sun-soaked vineyards of Domaine Saint-Paul near Béziers, this Viognier/Marsanne blend is a striking example of southern French elegance and aromatic intensity. Grown organically on light clay and limestone soils, the grapes benefit from almost 2,000 hours of annual sunshine and careful vineyard management, producing fruit of exceptional quality.
Tasting Notes:
Bright golden yellow in the glass, the nose is intensely aromatic with tropical and stone fruit notes, including lychee, pineapple, peach, and apricot. The palate is lively and vibrant, combining ripe fruit flavours with a fresh, zesty acidity. A tender, silky texture carries through to a harmonious and lingering finish, making the wine both approachable and complex.
Winemaking:
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, with minimal intervention in the cellar to preserve the expressive aromas. Gentle pressing and slow fermentation maintain freshness, while fine lees ageing enhances the wine’s texture and depth. Certified organic and vegan-friendly, Domaine Saint-Paul follows rigorous sustainable practices in both vineyard and winery.
Food Pairing:
An ideal aperitif or partner to lightly spiced Asian cuisine, seafood, white meats, or subtly flavoured creamy dishes. Its aromatic intensity also complements dishes with tropical fruits or mild spice. Serve chilled to fully enjoy its freshness and finesse.
ABV: 13.5%
