ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Anne Pichon estate is located in Mormoiron, at the bottom of Mont Ventoux. The estate was taken over by Marc and Anne Pichon in 2008. The vineyards are certified Organic since the beginning. Marc passed away in 2016 and his sister Veronique Pichon took up the torch to continue the tremendous efforts Marc had achieved in the vineyard and cellar. The estate consists today of 50 hectares. The Viognier has notes of apricot, mango, white peach, jasmin and honeysuckle. This cuvee is pretty round in mouth and the ripeness of the fruit is well balanced with the acidity.
