Le Chemin des ânes
A tribute to our donkeys that regularly take a stroll through the vineyards. We stop at the white wine plot, which produces a silky wine with a beautiful blend of aromas. Here, we clearly find the aromas of Viognier, the richness of Chardonnay, and a slight hint of freshness from Sauvignon.

Dégustation
Aromatic nose with notes of white peach. On the palate, there is a beautiful blend of grape varieties, with Viognier providing plenty of aromas of vine peach, white flowers, and pear, combined with the buttery brioche character of Chardonnay and a hint of freshness from Sauvignon. The contribution of oak is very subtle and precise, adding a delightful roundness. Ideal for your dinner aperitifs, fish, or white meats.
