Domaine des Abeilles d'Or - R. & L. DesbailletsViognier 2023

About this wine

This vibrant Viognier from Domaine des Abeilles d'Or showcases the expressive potential of Geneva's terroir. The Desbaillets family has crafted a wine that beautifully captures the aromatic intensity this grape is famous for.

On the nose, expect heady notes of apricot, white peach, and honeysuckle, with a touch of citrus blossom. The palate is rich and full-bodied, offering ripe stone fruit flavors balanced by a refreshing acidity that keeps everything elegant. The 14% alcohol is well-integrated, adding weight without overwhelming the delicate floral character.

This Viognier pairs wonderfully with grilled lake fish like perch or féra, creamy risotto, or mild Asian cuisine with a hint of spice. Serve at around 10-12°C to let those gorgeous aromatics shine through.
