Pays d’Oc Viognier

IGP Pays d'Oc White

Tasting

Pale yellow colour with golden highlights. A very seductive, fresh and expressive nose, with fruity (pear in syrup) and floral (honeysuckle, elderflower) aromas. On the palate, it is supple and fresh, with flavours of dried apricot accompanied by subtle toasted notes and bitter almond. On the finish, a hint of saltiness lends it a lovely length. (Tasting April 2026)

Food & wine pairings

As an aperitif, of course! But also pan-fried scallops with a leek fondue, a veal escalope with a cream and button mushroom sauce, a fruity Comté cheese or an apricot almond tart,

Detailed information

Vintage

The 2025 vintage in Languedoc-Roussillon was characterised by a wet winter followed by a sunny spring and a hot summer, tempered by sea breezes. The vines benefited from steady ripening, with a slightly early harvest that was highly consistent. The reds display lovely density, ripe tannins and a structuring freshness. The whites stand out for their tension and subtle salinity. A harmonious, expressive and balanced vintage.

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.
