| Wine list | Chardonnay |
Its juicy fruit and infinite hovering length make it an ideal companion for lunches with friends. This wine comes from the pure vinification of 100% Chardonnay grapes from company vineyards that are between 5 and 25 years old. The vinification involves a first phase of pressing the whole ripe and perfectly healthy harvested grapes, then fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18-20°C. Then maturation for 4 months on the fine lees in steel tanks. The vineyard is located in a hilly area with an exposure to the south and east between 350 meters and 450 meters above sea level. The soil is calcareous and clayey, warm and well drained.
