About this winery
Bijou first began in Cabrières, a tiny and idyllic region in the Languedoc-Roussillon just 30km north from the Mediterranean. This charming little village is dominated by the Pic de Vissou, an extinct volcano that provides our vineyards with very unique soil types. They have since expanded production into Provence and elsewhere.

Production notes
The harvest took place at the end of August and the grapes were picked in the early hours of the morning when temperatures are at their lowest. The grapes were sent to a pneumatic press and a cold fermentation took place with selected yeasts for 15 to 18 days. Each variety was fermented separately. Blending, filtering and stabilizing was completed in stainless steel tanks.
Tasting notes
Beautifully pale, bursting with aromas of strawberry and rose petals. The nose is exquisite with intriguing notes of lavender and redcurrant.. Complex and refreshing, this traditional provincial blend immediately transports you to the French Riviera. Expect flavours of red currant, white peach and pink grapefruit.
