A shepherd's legacy: refined white from the Pic Saint-Loup
- This white strikes a graceful balance between richness and freshness. The Viognier contributes apricot aromatics without heaviness, whilst careful oak maturation ensures elegance throughout.
- Particularly suited to spiced cuisine and bold flavours. Its aromatic character and balanced acidity complement Asian dishes, curried preparations, and Mediterranean fare with distinction.
- A wine of genuine conviviality. The clarity of its fruit and moderate alcohol make it equally at home at the table or shared amongst friends in a more relaxed setting.

Aromatic expression of pears and white flowers, with citrus notes that remain fresh and refined rather than assertive. A subtle, inviting bouquet.
In the mouth
The palate reflects the terroir of Pic Saint-Loup with considerable finesse. Viognier's characteristic apricot character emerges without dominating; the wine maintains poise and definition throughout.
Guilhem Viau has crafted a white of considerable merit here, reconciling southern intensity with northern restraint. The Dame Jeanne cuvée avoids the pitfall of heaviness through exemplary oak handling. This is gastronomy wine: ideally paired with fine fish—sea bass, red mullet—or shellfish such as langoustines and scallops.

BERGERIE DU CAPUCIN
Established in Lauret, Hérault, Bergerie du Capucin covers 15 hectares within the Languedoc appellation, on clay-limestone soils over marly subsoils. Guilhem Viau founded the estate in 2008 after a decade working within a cooperative cellar, naming it in tribute to his ancestor Jeanne, whose sheepfold once stood on this very lieu-dit. The range — red, white, and rosé — is built around Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault, vinified at yields of 40 hl/ha. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the coherence of its project, the depth of its terroirs, and the rigour with which Guilhem Viau captures the true character of the Languedoc in every cuvée. A producer well worth following.
