Beaujolais producer to release Viognier
Beaujolais producer Xavier Benier is to release a Viognier from the region under a Vin de France label.
The 2015 vintage will mark the first release of the Viognier which is grown in a small vineyard in the Beaujolais Villages commune of Saint Julien (pictured) – where Benier is based.
Viognier is not allowed under Beaujolais AOC laws but Saint Julien also falls under the IGP Comtés Rhodaniens appellation which does allow the planting and bottling of Viognier.
