Importer’s notes: The couple, whose real names are Laetitia Ourliac & Rodolphe Gianesini, is intent on producing wines that express their sultry slice of the Languedoc — specifically, Escales, in the northernmost part of the Corbières AOC. Their domaine begins at the end of a road lined with Cypress trees and extends in either direction across 15ha of lush vegetation, a secret garden of olives, tomatoes, eggplants, wild herbs, and newly-born kittens.
This is a different Chardonnay, refreshing and so easy drinking. Aromas of green apple, pear, lemon zest and soft herbal notes. Light golden color, the palate is crisp, mineral-driven with a well balanced acidity and a really lovely round finish, a Chardonnay you you were not expecting.
From 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from organically cultivated vines planted on calcareous and blue marl soils in Escales. Hand-harvested and directly pressed. The fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, then aged on lees for approximately nine months. Unfined and unfiltered, with minimal added sulfur.
Pairs with creamy white pasta dishes, roasted potatoes, fresh salads or as aperitif.
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Grape: 100% Chardonnay
Vintage: 2024
750 ml
