VINTAGE: 2018
VARIETAL 100% Chardonnay.
TASTING NOTES Revealing citrusy notes as well as fresh fruits aromas underlined by woody scents.
VINIFICATION AND MATURING
Vinification took place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures; we intentionnally settled the temperature around 18°C (64°F) to get the purest color and rich aromas. We also chose a long alcoholic fermentation (25 days) to ensure a good dryness in the wine
Currently the wine is still ageing to total in the end about 10 months ageing.
The harvest was divided in two parts (proportions winemaker's secret...sorry!) to age in oak barrels and vats. It will enhance the natural complexity of this appellation, making the citrus aromas and minerality outstand and mix harmoniously with its rich toasted aromas.
We are also using a proportion of 30% new oak barrels to get subtle woody notes.
Furthermore, the malolactic fermentation will be brought to its end to make the fatness more present and the wine more supple.
