Tatenogahara Viognier is a single-varietal white wine from Domaine Beau, made entirely from Viognier grown on the Tatenohara plateau in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture. The 2024 vintage marks the estate's first single-varietal Viognier bottling, released in only the fourth year since the vines were planted. The wine offers bright lychee and peach aromatics layered with light citrus notes from early-picked fruit, gentle acidity, and a mineral-tinged, dry palate that finishes with an unexpectedly silky, viscous texture. It reflects Domaine Beau's low-intervention, IoT-assisted viticulture and sake-brewing-influenced, low-temperature fermentation approach.
A rare Japanese take on Viognier — Domaine Beau's Tatenogahara bottling trades the grape's usual weight for a lighter, citrus-tinged freshness that still finishes with real texture.
