Tax included
Only 12 in stock
Perched at the crossroads of Rhône and Provence, Château Pesquié lies in the Mont Ventoux area in southern France. The vineyard is owned by the Chaudière family (Alexandre & Frédéric), three generations in and increasingly working organic and biodynamic. The terroir for Le Paradou’s Viognier is rather special: vines on hilly, south‑facing slopes about 30 km from the coast, planted on rocky limestone soils. Elevation and cool influence help preserve acidity, as does avoiding malolactic fermentation and keeping fermentation and ageing in stainless steel.
As for food‑pairing, this Viognier really shines with lighter fare: think grilled fish (sea bass, brill), shellfish, risotto with spring vegetables, or goat cheese. Also lovely as an aperitif. If you wanted something more daring, try dishes with mild curry spices — the floral and peach notes can play nicely.
