Astruc Viognier Classique 2023 is a characterful white wine from the Pays d'Oc, where the Viognier grape thrives under the Mediterranean sun. The result is an aromatic wine with a full and lively taste. The wine has a bright, pale yellow colour with golden highlights. The nose offers intense scents of ripe apricot, peach and exotic fruit such as mango and pineapple, combined with subtle floral notes of orange blossom and honeysuckle. On the palate this Viognier offers a creamy and silky texture, with flavours that enhance the wine's fruity and floral character. The ripe stone fruit is balanced by refreshing acidity and a light mineral touch. The finish is long and elegant, with a subtle hint of honey and almond.
Excellent with creamy cheeses, grilled scallops, Thai curries or poultry in a creamy sauce.

The estate combines traditional viticultural techniques with modern innovations, resulting in wines that are both characterful and approachable. The Chardonnay Classique is made from carefully selected grapes that benefit from the Mediterranean climate with its sunny days and cool nights. Part of the wine is aged in oak barrels, giving it subtle complexity and a pleasant roundness.
