Vin de France Le Petit Viognier Monteillet (Domaine du) - Stéphane Montez 2018

The wine

Petit Viognier from the Monteillet domain has a golden hue which exudes the grape variety’s typical aromas such as citrus and apricot. Nicely balanced between flavoursome generosity and mineral tension, the wine pairs beautifully with fine fish and crustaceans.

About the Producer Monteillet

The domaine du Monteillet has belonged to the Villard family for no less than 5 centuries and nine generations! The family’s most well-known member is Louis Hector, duke of Villard and Louis XIV’s Marshall of France (1653-1734). Stéphane Montez has been running the property since 1997, having travelled the world to work in all sorts of different vineyards. His experience in the four corners of the world allowed him to develop new techniques in the family property and to respond to potential climatic difficulties. The vineyard is spread over 14 hectares and three appellations (Côte Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, Condrieu).
