Les Amis Chardonnay IGP Pays d’OC
The Vines
Vines located in the occitane region, “La Clape Territory” in the village of Saint Pierre.
Terroir
The unique characteristic of the Languedoc terroir is it's high cliffs and canyons along the sea that are decorated with pine woods, vines and garrigue. As you can imagine the soil is very rocky and poor, but the sea's influence allows the Chardonnay to have a long ripening season and offers more finesse and complexity than a classic, hot climate.
Vinification
A slow ripening process and a late harvest ensure grapes that are ripe, healthy, and concentrated in flavor. The grapes are pressed then transferred to stainless steel vats for cold fermentation at 17°C for 20 days.
Tasting Notes
A well-crafted, rich white wine from the south of France enveloped by notes of ripe apple, pear and cream. The long finish explodes with buttery flavors.
Food Pairings
Meaty fish like halibut and cod or shellfish like lobster, shrimp, crab, or scallops.
