Bellecourt Vineyards, Chardonnay, Vin de France, Blanc, 2024
Winemaking
The fermentation of this Chardonnay lasts for 10 to 12 days, carried out in both French and American oak barrels, bringing subtle woody nuances. After this phase, the wine benefits from careful aging for 6 months on natural lees, giving it a rich texture and additional complexity. Only half of the blend undergoes malolactic fermentation, a choice that helps preserve the wine's lively and refreshing acidity while adding a beautiful roundness to the whole. Early bottling, meticulously planned, ensures the optimal capture of freshness and primary aromas, thus guaranteeing a vibrant and balanced wine.
