Packshot - Maison de la Villette Chardonnay

Maison De La Villette, Chardonnay, Blanc, 2024

Presentation

A distinctive French Chardonnay which combines a rich fruity profile and a refreshing mineral acidity.

Terroir

Cooler sloping vineyards located on the foothills of the Pyrenees, in the South-Western France, blended with grapes originating from coastal Mediterranean places.

Winemaking

10 to 12 day fermentation with both French and American oak is followed by a soft 6 month maturation on the wine’s natural lies. Only 50% of the final blend completes malolactic fermentation, which allows to keep some natural acidity. An early bottling allows to capture freshness and primary flavors.

Varietal

Chardonnay

Tasting

A refreshing and complex white wine with lemon pie, fresh banana and pear scents followed by roasted hints of praline, vanilla and candied chestnuts.
