Description

Following the success of our "Ardeche Chardonnay" and our "Grand Ardeche", Maison Louis Latour began planting Viognier in the Ardeche to create an original blend with Chardonnay. Our "Duet" is unique because the two different grapes are harvested and fermented at the same time. Although the vineyards are some distance apart, the last week of the Chardonnay harvest coincides with the first week of the Viognier harvest, which preserves the Viognier's acidity. This results in a balanced wine, where neither variety overpowers the other. It is a fine, supple, and elegant wine.

Tasting Notes

Our Duet 2025 reveals a fruity nose marked by aromas of bitter orange, fresh plums, and acacia blossom. Ample from the first sip, the palate keeps a lovely freshness while revealing spicier nuances. With its unctuous texture, the wine finishes with impressive length on the palate.
