Suitable for vegans
Éminence de Bijou is a small production wine from the best plots of the higher altitude vineyards of Limoux, in the upper reaches of the river Aude. There are discernible notes of peach, lemon, pineapple, and melon. The wine exhibits a well-defined oak structure, with a nutty essence and subtle brioche. Elegantly balanced with a lingering exotic finish carried by the acidity.

History: Bijou produces authentic, award-winning wines that express the unique terroirs of Southern France. With a commitment to sustainability and innovation, our wines celebrate the distinct character of undiscovered regions in Languedoc and Provence.
Regional information: The grapes are sourced from the best sites above Limoux between 400 and 450m above sea level, in La Haute Vallée de l'Aude appellation. This unique terroir is distinguished by a set of microclimates where, exposed to inland coolness and humidity, and a wider diurnal range, the grapes benefit from a longer growing season to ripen slowly.
Vinification: After direct pressing and cold settling, the grapes are fermented and matured for 5-6 months in a combination of 3 vessels: thermo-regulated stainless steel, 365L French oak barrels from Nevers and Tronçais and older truncated wooden vats to allow micro oxygenation. The result is a cool-climate and structured expression of Chardonnay from the Pyrenees.
