Maison Centaurée Viognier is a white wine from Languedoc, France. The wine is made from the Viognier grape, which is known for its aromatic properties. The wine has a pale lemon yellow color and an intense nose with aromas of flowers, peach, apricot and tropical fruit. The wine has a full, rich taste with a good balance between fruit and acid. The aftertaste is long and pleasant.
Fermentation and maturation take place in stainless steel barrels, which preserves freshness. The Viognier is then matured 'sur lie' for more body.
Maison Centaurée Viognier is delicious as an aperitif or with light fish and meat dishes, salads and Asian dishes.

The winery is named after the Centaurée, the French word for cornflower. This rare, protected flower is scattered in remote places in Minervois and at the foot of the Pyrenees, as well as in the winery's vineyards. Maison Centaurée honors this small wildflower and tailors its agricultural methods to its conservation. Their aim is to give the wines the same generous nature as that of the Centaurée flower; the passionate winemakers make it a sport to match the flavor profiles of Burgundy wines.
In 1995, Laurent and Catherine Delaunay, originally winemakers from the Burgundy region, started making wines from regions such as the Rhône, Provence and Languedoc under their own flag.
The vineyards are located around the towns of Beziers and Carcassonne. All grapes are picked manually, which guarantees quality. The vines have an average age of 20-25 years old and grow in rich terroir. After picking the grapes, (long-term) ripening follows, according to the “Sur Lie” method and in oak barrels.
