Laurus
Pays d’Oc Viognier 2024

IGP Pays d'Oc White

Tasting

Pale yellow colour with golden highlights. A Viognier with expressive and floral aromas (honeysuckle). Lively on the palate with notes of apricot and Williams pear and a touch of saltiness that adds freshness and length. On the finish, subtle notes of pink grapefruit and oak elegantly complete the aromatic palette. (Tasting November 2025)

Food & wine pairings

As an aperitif, of course! But also a seafood risotto, pan-fried scallops with a leek fondue.

Laurus

Laurus means ‘Laurel’ in Latin, a Roman symbol of excellence. Here excellence is all about “terroir”: the grapes are grown on parcels selected for their ability to express the very best of each Appellation.

The term “terroir” encompasses a soil, a climate and people. Here it is expressed through sustainable partnerships with wine-growers who share our vision. The perfect combination of grape variey & soil, the precise maturing process in unique 275l. French oak "Laurus" barrels refines the structure, producing complex wines, with plenty of character, beautiful elegance and a long ageing potential.
