"Elegant and stylish, the enticing bouquet shows apricot, green rockmelon, lemon pith and oatmeal nuances, followed by a finely flowing palate that's creamy and rounded. Beautifully framed by juicy acidity, finishing persistent and refined. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2024

"Aromas and flavours of fuzzy white peach and apple flesh then grapefruit and white chalky spice qualities. Refreshing, fruity and dry on the finish a wine with texture and some minerality. Balanced and well made with best drinking from 2024 through 2027+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2024

Young looking bright gold colour. Enticing aromas of vanilla, lime blossom, lemon curd and pear. The palate is harmonious, with a creamy mouthfeel. This gorgeous Chardonnay ends with a clean, bracing acidity, carrying the flavours to a long conclusion.

The Pays d'Ocbenefits from the Mediterranean climate. With its coastline bordering the region in the South, it provides hot and dry summers for a perfect maturity. On the other side, the Black Mountain brings enough humidity and cool temperatures for the vineyards to produce grapes packed with fruity aromas. The terroir effect is very noticeable in this region due to the great variety of winegrowing areas that create an expression of the grape varieties that is unique. This specific Chardonnay is sourced from lowland vineyards from the Pays d’Oc, planted on calcareous marls. These well-drained soils, located close to the Canal du Midi, are protecting the vines from drought as the Chardonnay needs enough watering to produce balanced and healthy grapes.

Chardonnay is the most popular white grape in the world. With grapes sourced along an axis between Carcassonne and Béziershis Pays d'Ocwine region benefits from the Mediterranean climate and is a perfect place to style ripe, fruity yet understated Chardonnay. It provides warm, dry summers for grapes to reach a perfect maturity. To the north the Montagne Noire (Black Mountain range) brings cooler evening temperatures to retain aromatic freshness and vibrant acidity. Gentle pneumatic pressing ensures extraction of premium juice only. Cool fermentation in stainless steel vats at 16/18°C retains fruitiness and to preserve the freshness of the wine malolactic fermentation is inhibited. The wine is aged on its fine lees during 5 months with regular stirring before bottling to add richness and complexity.

Food Pairing: Enjoy this wine chilled, with Chicken in lemon butter sauce, roasted mushroom, Niçoise salad, Quiche Lorraine, creamy cheeses.
