Domaine BovySt-Saphorin Viognier 2023

About this wine

This St-Saphorin Viognier from Domaine Bovy is a beautiful expression of one of the Rhône Valley's most aromatic grapes, now thriving on the steep terraces of Lavaux. The 2023 vintage captures the essence of this sun-blessed appellation, where the combination of lake reflection and terraced slopes creates the perfect conditions for this noble variety.

On the nose, expect an explosion of white flowers, ripe apricots, and hints of peach. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with a velvety texture that coats your mouth. You'll find notes of honeysuckle, tropical fruits, and a subtle touch of spice. Despite its generous 14% alcohol, the wine maintains a beautiful freshness that keeps it elegant and balanced.

This Viognier pairs wonderfully with creamy dishes like a Swiss fondue or raclette, where its richness can stand up to the cheese. It also works beautifully with grilled fish, roasted chicken with herbs, or even spicy Asian cuisine. Serve it slightly chilled at around 10-12°C to let all those gorgeous aromatics shine through.
