Original Chardonnay
IGP Pays d'OC Blanc
HISTORY
Since 1929, Anne de Joyeuse has been crafting wines that reflect both the richness of its terroirs and a constant drive for innovation. From the foothills of the Pyrenees to sun-kissed valleys, our vineyards thrive in a unique environment where nature and expertise come together.
Original is more than a name, it is our philosophy. It represents our deep respect for tradition, our pioneering spirit, and our commitment to sustainability through the Protect Planet charter. It is a tribute to the winemakers who have shaped our identity, creating wines that remain true to their origins while evolving with time.
VINEYARD
Our vineyards, planted on clay and limestone soils, benefit from the fresh climate of the Pyrenean foothills.
GRAPE VARIETY
100% Chardonnay.
VINIFICATION :
«Chardonnay Original» is made from grapes which are pressed on arrival at the cellar. The must is settled at a cold temperature, then fermented at precisely controlled temperatures. 50 % of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks, 50% in oak barrels (1/3 new barrels, 1/3 barrels of one wine, 1/3 barrels of two wines).
TASTING NOTES
This attractive chardonnay is best tasted between 10 and 12°C. The robe is bright pale yellow and gold. The intensely aromatic nose suggests scents of white flowers and citrus fruit which are revealed on the palate with a fruity, soft attack, excellent balance and a fresh, elegant finish.
MATCHING WITH FOOD
This Chardonnay will be an ideal partner for all sorts of fish (monkfish with lemon or prepared in Portuguese style) and will also be an excellent aperitif.
