"The Figuieres is a blend of 70% Viognier and 30% Roussanne. The grapes are harvested manually in small baskets and vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. 20% of the wine is matured on its lees in two or three-year-old barrels; the remaining 80% is matured on its lees in tanks to enhance freshness. The Viognier offers elegance and aromatic complexity, while the Roussane brings structure to the wine. Flavors of mangoes and apricots are perfectly balanced by good acidity. Drink this wine just slightly chilled in order to let the aromas of peaches and honey fully develop. The wine is excellent as an aperitif, but also a great match for fish or chicken in a cream sauce. Drink now and over the next 2 -3 years."
