Wine Description:

A full style, ripe Chardonnay from Domaine de Cassagnau showing rich stone fruits and citrus.

Benefiting from the Mediterranean climate under oceanic influence, the Chardonnay vines are exposed to the north to benefit from the coolness of the Pyrenean foothills during hot summers, so the grapes retain good acidity and exceptional aromatics.

After the harvest, the grapes are carefully transported to the vat room to obtain, by light pneumatic pressing, a rich and aromatic must. Once cold settled, the must is vinified and clarified at low temperature, in vats. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, aging on lees begins until January. Before bottling, fining with bentonite helps clarify the wine and give it all its shine.

Tasting Note:

What sets this Chardonnay apart is its brilliance and shimmering green tints. The nose – of mango, passion fruit and mild spices – takes you on an exotic voyage. The palate is all roundness, softness and finesse, with more than a hint of tangy vivacity that lends balance. Let yourself be charmed by its suppleness and freshness and its deliciously floral and exotic aromas. Serve chilled.

Food Suggestion:

Share this wine with friends and family either as an aperitif drink or with a meal of summer vegetables accompanied by cooked or raw fish. Pairs wonderfully with modern vegetarian cuisine.

Producer Description

Languedocien and oceanic, these are the terms that define the excellence and uniqueness of this terroir. We find ourselves here, as if by magic, at the confluence of two climates: the Mediterranean influences bring generosity and the sun conducive to beautiful maturities. The westerly flows, meanwhile, maintain the humidity and freshness necessary for the expression of the fruit.
Crafted with the utmost skill and the result of stringent selection, their cuvée express all the characters of the grape varieties and the singularity of this Pays d’Oc terroir. Designed to meet the requirements of modern consumption habits, this expressive, likeable quaff goes down especially well outside mealtimes.
