Packshot - La Belle Angèle Chardonnay Diamond

La Belle Angèle, La précieuse, Chardonnay Diamond, Vin de France, Blanc, 2024

Location

This cuvée is the result of a careful selection of several terroirs, from the warm, sun-kissed and sea-breezed Mediterranean coasts to the cooler, more continental foothills of the Pyrenees. This blend allows us to obtain a complex wine profile with beautiful acidity.

Winemaking

This wine is a blend of two types of wine-making : 3/4 of our cuvée develop the crisp of the fruit in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 16/18°C, the remaining quarter gains complexity from the contact with wood.

Ageing

The wines resulting from each method of wine-making show very different profiles. They are kept separate throughout the ageing process, on the lees, and blended afterwards. The final blend offers a breath-taking balance between the purity and zest of the fruit (from the wine-making in stainless steel tanks) and the roundness and complexity from the contact with the wood.

Varietal

Chardonnay

Tasting

With a beautiful golden color, this Chardonnay offers a gorgeous expressive nose with floral and fruity notes (pear, apricot). The palate is savoury, with aromas of caramelized almond and hazelnut. Beautifully rich, this cuvée boasts both length and minerality.

Food pairings

Chardonnay Diamond will go beautifully with a lobster roll, a fish baked in foil or a Pad Thaï.
