One of the finest Chardonnays representing southern France, it receives high praise every year from renowned tasters.

This is a masterpiece of Chardonnay, representing the south of France. Made from low-yielding grapes hand-picked between night and early morning, this wine carefully brings out the purity of the fruit and its vibrant acidity. Its concentrated yet refined flavor harmonizes with notes of white peach, citrus, and subtle oak. This is a highly refined wine that pairs naturally with food.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Pale golden yellow with a slight greenish sheen.
From the glass, notes of white peach, pear and ripe citrus peel are layered with nuances of acacia flowers, subtle vanilla and toasted almonds.

When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the concentrated fruitiness, but the taut acidity from the night harvest tightens the whole, giving it a very refined impression.
The oak aroma from the new oak barrels is subtle, serving only to highlight the purity of the fruit and its minerality.

The finish is clean and persistent, with a subtle saltiness and refined flavor remaining quietly, making this a wine that exudes the refinement of southern French Chardonnay.

Pairing
Grilled white fish, roasted chicken breast, and sautéed scallops

Technical Data

Vinification

The vineyards are kept to a very low natural yield of 25-35 hectoliters per hectare.

The grapes are hand-harvested at night or early in the morning, sorted, de-stemmed, and then macerated in stainless steel tanks at low temperature for approximately 10 hours.

After pressing and racking, the wine is fermented in new Allier oak barrels, then aged on the lees for up to three months before being racked.
