Chemin des Lions - Chardonnay 2025

The Gulf of Lion stretches across southern France, between Spain and Provence, opening the vineyards wide to the Mediterranean. Maritime winds—tramontane and mistral—regulate temperatures, keep vines healthy, and promote balanced ripening. Combined with garrigue soils and strong sunlight, this maritime influence shapes terroirs that produce wines both expressive, fresh, and structured, with a clear Mediterranean identity.

On the palate, the attack is straightforward and precise, giving way to a generous, ample and rich texture, carried by a beautiful richness that gives the wine roundness and persistence.
