LE PARADOU VIOGNIER 2023

It is reasonable to think Paradou means Paradise in the old language of the “langue d’oc”, as it is magical to live in the south of France. Yet, Paradou actually refers to the old watermills that once dotted the landscape. It is in homage to these majestic giants, built on the banks of streams since Roman times, that we have created these fresh and pleasing wines.

Alexandre & Frederic Chaudiere are from a family that has produced generations of wine-makers at the Chateau Pesquie in the Ventoux, South of the Rhone Valley. In 2005, when they created the Paradou range, they decided to give themselves a new challenge. These two thirty or so year old brothers have always shared a passion for wine.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Made with 100% viognier, this wine, kept at low temperature throughout the winemaking process, expresses a lovely minerality. On the palate, freshness and balance take centre stage in this single varietal wine which is very popular as an aperitif.

Golden colour with silvery glints, clear and bright. Nose of white flowers, white fruits (peach). In mouth, very fresh and balanced, with citrus aromas (lemon), white fruits and a great minerality."
