Winemaker Notes
Made from a single south facing parcel on the estate named Saga Pegot. The schist (slate) soil type and warm climate produce a very intense, mineral wine that expresses spice and leather flavours typical of the Faugères terroir, near the Cevennes mountains.
91 Points, Decanter
The Miquel family first bought land in the central Languedoc region in 1791, but Viognier was only planted in 1992. This classic example has a mid-gold hue, a waxy, honeyed character and crisp acidity balancing rich, ripe, tropical fruit flavours. 70% of the blend was fermented and matured in oak barrels. Long and complex.
