Jean-Luc Colombo Description
TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES: “The Violette” is named for its wild flower bouquet: possessing delicate aromatics of peaches, dried fruit and white flowers. It is 100% Viognier from 20 year-old vines in the Languedoc region of Southern France.
WINEMAKING: The wine undergoes controlled fermentation and maceration at 59°F, 80% in stainless steel tanks and 20% in barrels.
AGING: The wine spends six months on lees, 70% in tanks, and 30% in one-, two- and three-year-old barrels.
TASTING NOTES: Floral notes accompany lemon, apricot and wet stone on the nose and a hint of ginger. A round texture with mouthwatering acidity marked by green apple and citrus fruit, with minerality and spice on the finish. Lovely as an aperitif or with seafood appetizers. Great with salads, chicken dishes and crab cakes.
