history
A passionate count carefully oversees his extensive vineyards under the radiant sun of the South of France. The meticulously aligned vines reflect a blend of ancient traditions and modern techniques. Harvest time is celebrated as the culmination of hard work and dedication, producing rich and complex wines that are emblematic of the region's unique terroir.
Vineyard
The vines, now 20 years old, thrive on a diverse terrain of alluvial gravels and limestone. This area, nestled along the Mediterranean coast and extending to the higher grounds of the Aude region, is characterized by its clay-laden and sandy soils.
Winemaking
The grapes are picked in the early hours of the morning, a practice aimed at preventing oxidation and reducing the reliance on sulphites. Once harvested, they are immediately pressed, setting the stage for the winemaking process.
Tasting notes
This wine boasts a pleasing texture, with an initial burst of exceptionally ripe and flavorful fruit. It presents a soft and well-balanced profile on the palate, finishing with a smooth wash of ripe citrus fruit.
Food pairing
Perfect with creamy white fish, salmon, chicken in cream sauce, clam chowder, and aged cheeses. This Chardonnay also goes well with lobster bisque and creamy pastas.
