VIOGNIER EN AMONT
VINTAGE 2023
DOMAINE DE BOISSEYT
NORTH RHÔNE • FRANCE
"The perfume of spring in the Rhône: a Viognier that balances the caress of stone fruits with the electric tension of French granite."
The Verticality of the North Rhône
Viognier "En Amont" 2023 is the calling card of Domaine de Boisseyt, one of the oldest and most respected houses in Chavanay, France. This wine is born from steep terraces where decomposed granite forces the roots to delve deep in search of identity. In the 2023 vintage, the Viognier grape displays its characteristic exotic bouquet but remains fresh and vibrant, avoiding heaviness and prioritizing a minerality reminiscent of stone wet by the Rhône River.

Technical Sheet and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is Boisseyt's Viognier so unique?
Unlike New World Viogniers that can be heavy, the French origin in the North Rhône guarantees a vertical elegance and a granitic minerality that refreshes the palate.
What is the aging potential of the 2023?
It is designed to be enjoyed for its primary freshness. It is recommended to consume it within the next 2 to 3 years to appreciate all the floral and fruity power of the grape.
Does it contain oak?
This wine is mostly vinified in stainless steel tanks and large, previously used wooden vats, in order to add texture without transferring oak aromas, preserving the purity of the fruit.
