About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Chardonnay grows in the Camara area, on 4 ha of east-facing vineyards at 180–220 m above sea level. The position gives the vines plenty of gentle sunlight, so the grapes ripen slowly and evenly. The vines are up to 26 years old and stand in limestone marl over a chalk substrate, trained by the Guyot system.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates. Vinification includes skin-contact maceration and takes place at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine ages for 5 months in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Clean, woody and tropical in both aroma and taste.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with vegetable dishes, freshwater fish such as trout or pike, and fine cheeses.

Label / history

First released in 1984.
