Les Argelières Chardonnay is a vibrant and modern expression of this noble grape from the sun-soaked Languedoc. Grown on cooler hill sites with pebble and limestone soils, the wine perfectly balances ripe tropical fruit with subtle mineral freshness, highlighting the purity and elegance of the variety.
Tasting Notes:
Shimmering gold in the glass, the nose reveals aromas of ripe golden apple, white peach, and delicate hints of vanilla and toasted nuts. On the palate, the wine is dense and velvety yet lively, with flavours of tropical fruit, a touch of buttery richness, and a gentle toastiness from light oak ageing. Balanced acidity carries the wine through to a long, fresh, and harmonious finish.
Winemaking:
Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press to preserve quality. The juice is cool-settled for two days before fermenting in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks using natural yeasts over three weeks. A portion of the wine is matured in lightly toasted French oak barrels to impart subtle vanilla and buttery notes, before blending and bottling.
Food Pairing:
A versatile white, it pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled chicken, creamy seafood dishes, soft cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own as an elegant aperitif.
ABV: 13%
