There are elegant vanilla and floral notes on the nose of this Chardonnay, which delivers a buttery mouthfeel. Flavors of peach and baked pears play along and lead into a generous finish.

Vinification

10 to 12 day fermentation with both French and American oak is followed by a soft 6 month maturation on the wine’s natural lies. About half of the final blend completes malolactic fermentation, which allows to keep some natural acidity. An early bottling allows to capture freshness and primary flavors.

La Villette

Is an old district of Paris where the main food market supplying the city with food products and wines, use to be located. Produces were delivered by horse or ox carts or by barges on the Canal St-Martin (represented on our label). La Villette was a very animated area where authentic Parisians use to get together in some famous restaurants and bistros reputed for their fresh food and good wines.

Food pairing

Perfect served at 8-10°C on its own as an aperitif or with seafood, grilled fishes and salads.
