Matières Blanc is a quest to rediscover the purity and finesse of Chardonnay.
I chose Clayver stoneware barrels to vinify and age this grape variety with a thousand faces.
Thus, thanks to the shape and the rotating supports, batonnage on total lees is done without any oxidation.

Location
Because the vineyards are located in-between the Pyrenees to the South
and the Black Mountains to the North, it enjoys a privileged climatic
position where the excesses of the Mediterranean climate are tempered
by the softness of the Atlantic influences. This extraordinary mixture -
where the days are sunny and warm, where the wind blows almost
continuously and where the nights are cool, gives Cantalauze wines a
particular charm.

Winemaking
Harvested manually, the grapes are then pressed and then vinified at low temperature in Clayver stoneware barrels.
At the end of fermentation the wine is aged in these same barrels, on fine lees, resuspended using the Oxoline rotating support.
