From Viognier planted in the mid 1980s, the fermentation takes place in a mixture of large oak barrels and steel vats with full malolactic fermentation. Roughly 5000 bottles per year.
fine yellow robe; the nose is very elegant, composed of peach, aniseed, white plum, has an excellent floating style, grace. This is top tack! It has much suavity of texture, with very assured persistence, is refined and gliding throughout. It’s real good Châtillon, bang on the money as it should be, is STGT wine. It bears neat iron touches, has a pear-buttery flavour, and butter-floral late moments, a dab of petrol also. Much refinement here.
