Viognier Les Mijanelles

A Viognier from the Languedoc that shows what this grape variety is capable of when it reaches full ripeness in a warm, dry climate: lush aromatics, but with enough structure to ensure it doesn't feel too heavy on the palate.

Château Fontarèche is located in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon, one of France's oldest wine regions. The estate cultivates its vineyards on calcareous-clay soils, which provide the wines with a certain freshness even in hot years. The Les Mijanelles bears the name of a traditional term for wine plots in the region — a nod to the local connection that is typical for Fontarèche.

In the glass, the wine smells of white peach, apricot, and orange blossom — the classic aroma profile of ripe Viognier. This is accompanied by a subtle spicy note that gives the wine depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied with soft acidity and a long, slightly floral finish. Vinified dry, with no residual sugar.

Pairs well with roasted chicken breast with herbs de Provence, a creamy chicken curry, or goat cheese. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.

The Château

Chateau Fontarèche

Between Narbonne and Carcassonne, in the heart of the Languedoc, lies Château Fontarèche – one of the oldest wineries in the Corbières appellation. The Château has been family-owned since 1682: at that time, Pierre Mignard, portrait painter to Louis XIV, acquired the estate. Today, the de Lamy family, direct descendants of the Mignards, continues the legacy in the ninth generation – together with a team led by director Vincent Dubernet.

Over 17 different grape varieties grow on more than 130 hectares around the Château: Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache Blanc alongside Roussanne, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. This diversity is reflected in the range – from powerful Corbières red wines to fresh Vins de Pays d'Oc. What all the wines have in common is the Mediterranean terroir between the Mediterranean Sea and the foothills of the Pyrenees: dry summers, nutrient-poor soils, and plenty of sun.
