'The granite terraces of the parcels of Côte Bellay and Boissey facing directly south offer a terroir producing rich Viognier grapes with noble rot (Botrytis). Ideal autumn conditions favor the development of noble rot: variations in temperature between the day and the night-time, morning fog due to the close proximity of the Rhone and afternoon sunshine.
The botrytized grapes are harvested on a regular basis, every fortnight from October through to December. Part of the healthy grapes are used in make this late harvest in view of conserving the typical characteristics of the Viognier grape variety. As a result, a subtle mix of botrytized aromas are combined with the fruity and floral aromas of Viognier. The over ripening of the grapes produces acidity balancing out their strong concentration in sugar.'
