| Wine maker notes |
| The Barnouin family began as pepinierists, or vine clone experts. Maurice’s now- 200 hectare estate is planted with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Mourvedre, as well as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Viognier. This wine is crafted from young-vine Viognier that is planted on a plateau with a limestone sub-soil, which helps guard the minerality of the fruit naturally. Southeast exposure provides the perfect environment and encourages extended hang time, allowing the grape skins to reach their full ripeness potential, resulting in clean aromatics and an intensely flavored wine. The Gournier Viognier . . . is complimented by a touch of Chardonnay from new cask and a splash of Sauvignon Blanc for acidity and freshness. |
