Iconique, Viognier 2023

Domaine Novelle – Le Grand Clos, located in Satigny (Geneva), is led by visionary winemaker Jean-Michel Novelle. Since the 1980s, he has transformed this 7-hectare family estate into a viticultural laboratory, introducing 16 grape varieties and practicing respectful farming without fertilizers or herbicides. Every year, around 35 distinct wines are crafted with a focus on freshness, balance, minerality, and aromatic precision. The “Iconique” Viognier is a perfect embodiment of this philosophy, delivering a pure and elegant expression of the Rhône varietal.
