Vineyard

The vineyard is located in the south east of France, in the Valvignères and Vogüé areas. It grows 130ha of Chardonnay. Here, the terroir is known as gravettes: 100% clay-limestone soil with few loose aggregation of rock fragments and the grapes are picked when ripe to the maximum.

Tasting notes

Pale straw in color with white peach and floral lemon notes, a ripe pear length and smooth mineral finish, this chardonnay makes a wonderful partner to poultry, salmon and creamy pasta dishes. The wine also reveals white peach and lemon flavors and ripe pears with smooth mineral finish.

Vinification

Traditional - However, we reduce the malolactic fermentation on 50% of the volume to preserve freshness and lightness. We then age in oak around 60% of the cuvée for 6 weeks to bring out more richness. Luc Tallaron has taken great care to vinify at low temperatures, retaining maximum aromas and fine fruit flavors.
