Description
When it comes to Value for Money, Domaine Dusseau is hard to beat. The Reserve series in particular (Barrel Aged) produces great wines for a very reasonable price. Domaine Dusseau, located in the south of France, has vineyards spread over various areas in the Pays D'Oc, each with their own climate. The majority of the grapes are intended for bulk wines, but a limited portion, and the best fruit, is intended for our own bottling where quality is the starting point.
Due to the large area of its own vineyards, Domaine Dusseau has the opportunity to always select the best grapes from the best plots for the wines under its own label.
The vineyards of Domaine Dusseau around Limoux are located in three climatically distinct regions:
- West of Limoux the 'Terroir Océanique' with wines where the acids dominate.
- To the northeast the 'Terroir Méditerranéen' with full wines.
- To the south the 'Terroir Haute Vallée where the wines clearly have more minerality.
This variation of terroirs makes it possible to strive for consistent quality by adjusting the ratio in each blend to the characteristics of the harvest year. In cool years the percentage of 'Méditerranéen' can be increased and in warm years more freshness can be brought into the wine by increasing the proportion of 'Océanique'.
The grapes for the Dusseau Reserve Barrel Aged Viognier are pressed in a pneumatic press after picking, the vinification takes place in steel vats under full temperature control and contact with the skins. This Réserve Viognier is aged in French oak for 6 months. This Reserve viognier has a beautiful bright straw yellow color. Rich and ripe with notes of pear, apricot and peach on the nose. In the mouth the wine has a balanced texture mixed with a fresh fleshiness and a long aftertaste with fine wood notes.
