La Villette Chardonnay 2023

La Villette Chardonnay 2023

La Villette Chardonnay is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, sourced from vineyards on the cool northern slopes near the Pyrenees in southwestern France, as well as from areas near the Mediterranean coast where the climate is warmer. This blend of terroirs gives the wine a harmonious character.

The fermentation process lasts 10-12 days and takes place in a combination of used French and American oak barrels. To preserve the wine's natural acidity and freshness, only half of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. After fermentation, the wine matures for 10 months on its lees in steel tanks, which highlights the fresh and aromatic nuances.

The wine presents itself with a clear, light golden color. The aroma is fresh and offers notes of citrus fruits, white flowers and green pears. The taste is dry with a slightly salty minerality and crispness, accompanied by exotic tones in the aftertaste and subtle hints of vanilla and roasted nuts. There is a fine balance between freshness and body. Perfect with seafood, fish dishes or white meat.
