Saint Dominique Le Viognier de la Chapelle 2023 is a white South French wine made from Viognier grapes from the Hérault region. The wine is part of the Chapelle range, which presents recognizable and accessible grape varieties from Aniane, near Montpellier. Behind La Chapelle are Danielle Vialard and Eric Hosteins, with a clear link to Château Cissac in the Médoc. This gives this Viognier a beautiful combination of South French ripeness, aromatic expression, and classic winemaking experience.
Le Viognier de la Chapelle comes from Aniane, a village in the Hérault with a strong wine identity.
• Location / Origin: Aniane is located near Montpellier, in the south of France. The region is warm and Mediterranean, allowing Viognier to develop its ripe, aromatic character here.
• Village with character: Aniane gained extra notoriety when the municipal council, led by Manuel Diaz, prevented the American company Mondavi from cultivating over 100 hectares of forest into vineyards. This story clearly shows how strongly the village is connected to local viticulture.
• Domain: La Chapelle is one of the oldest wine estates in Aniane. Due to a lack of succession, the estate came into the hands of Danielle Vialard, who brought her experience from the Médoc to this South French appellation.
This white wine is made entirely from Viognier.
• 100% Viognier – Hérault: Viognier gives this wine its aromatic scent, soft structure, and ripe fruit expression. In the Hérault, the grape develops a full, round style with notes of white fruit, citrus, and florality.
