Domaine de Vedilhan Serica Viognier

Winemaker Domaine de Vedilhan on the winery

“Our estate is located in Moussan, close to Narbonne in the Languedoc, and has been in the Fayet family for six generations. Since 1999, we have worked closely with the winemaking team at Boutinot, who support us throughout the production process, from choosing the ideal harvest date to defining the final wine style. A distinctive feature of our estate is the small stream that runs around the vineyards. It provides natural water and helps keep the vines cool in the warm Mediterranean climate. Our vineyards are planted on limestone, sand and marine shale soils. We work with respect for nature, aiming to create wines that combine ripe fruit with freshness.”

And on Languedoc-Roussillon, France

“For our Serica, we select 100% Viognier grapes and allow them to ripen until they develop beautiful aromatic concentration. The grapes are carefully harvested and handled to preserve their rich fruit character. Around two-thirds of the wine is fermented in mature French oak barrels. This approach adds texture and creaminess without allowing the oak to dominate. The name Serica refers to the Latin word for silk, perfectly reflecting its soft, almost velvety character. In the glass, we discover aromas of crystallised orange peel, apricot and other ripe stone fruits, complemented by ginger and a subtle creamy note. A full-flavoured, layered Viognier with a refined, gently spicy finish.”
