La Villette Chardonnay 2023

La Villette Chardonnay 2022

Maison de la Villette's Chardonnay is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, sourced from vineyards on the cool northern slopes near the Pyrenees in southwestern France, as well as from areas near the Mediterranean coast where the climate is warmer. This blend of grapes from different regions gives the wine a harmonious character.

The fermentation process lasts for around 10-12 days and takes place in a combination of used French and American oak barrels. Only around half of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, which preserves some of the wine's natural acidity and freshness. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 10 months on its lees in steel tanks, which highlights the fresh, aromatic and crisp elements.

The wine presents itself with a clear, light golden color. The aroma is fresh and aromatic with inviting notes of citrus fruits, white flowers and green pears. The taste is dry with a slightly salty minerality and crispness, accompanied by exotic tones in the aftertaste and subtle hints of vanilla and roasted nuts. There is a fine balance between freshness and body. This wine is ideal for serving with seafood, fish dishes or white meat.
