Domaine Saint Ferreol

Domaine Saint Ferreol

Domaine de St. Ferreol's is located in the heart of the Herault Valley in Languedoc in the South of France.

The name Jorje Maslakiewicz does not immediately conjure up thoughts of a languid Southern French vigneron, and yet that is exactly what he is! Having bought the ancient property of St Ferréol in 2000, and with a degree in oenology and a far from sentimental vinous education, Jorge decided that he had identified the ideal location for the cultivation of the notoriously fickle Viognier grape. One was inclined to be sceptical, but the very act of tasting his wonderful Viogner wines was enough to banish all scepticism.

The location in question is  the small enclave of Nizas, close to Montpellier. Jorge has not spared any expense; his wine has been  both fermented and matured  in significant volumes of new oak. Viognier’s calling cards of dried apricot, peach kernel and honeysuckle are all present and correct, displayed indeed, with bounteous aplomb. The texture is suitably rich and hedonistic, but there is an impressive mineral grip at the back to underline quality and lend a Condrieu-like texture but without, merci à Dieu, the Condrieu price tag.
