Very
IGP Haute Vallée de l'Aude Chardonnay
HISTORY
«Very Chardonnay» alone embodies the richness of our terroir. The terroir of the Haute Vallée de l’Aude allows the Chardonnay to ripen slowly, giving it freshness and finesse. These remarkable conditions,
combined with vineyard practices that adhere to our «Protect Planet» charter, enable us to obtain the finest grapes to craft this wine… Very Chardonnay.
VINEYARD
Our plots, on clay-limestone soils, are located in the terroir of the Haute Vallée de l’Aude.
GRAPE VARIETY
100% Chardonnay.
VINIFICATION
After pressing, the must is transferred into 220-liter barrels to undergo fermentation. A daily bâtonnage during the first two months helps “nourish” the wine and extract more aromas and complexity. The wine is aged for 4 months.
TASTING NOTES
It will taste at its best if it is decanted half an hour before it is served at 12°C. Bright gold in colour, the nose will reveal scents of white flowers, citrus fruit, white peach and brioche which develop on the well balanced palate culminating on a fresh, long finish.
MATCHING WITH FOOD
Imperial as an aperitif with friends, it will be a classy companion for an asparagus ‘Charlotte’ cake , a creamed fillet of pike-perch, a buttered sole or brochette of goat’s milk cheese.
