Grape: 100% Chardonnay.

A straw yellow color in the glass. Notes of pear, apple and citrus fruits on the nose. A complex wine with a generous character and a long, elegant aftertaste.

Domain
As a Vin de France, this Cuvée has no appellation; the grapes come from the Haute Vallée de l'Aude in the south-west of France. Here the conditions are perfect for the Chardonnay to fully express its character: a complex generosity and a long-lasting mineral elegance.

Exhibition
The vines are located on limestone soils with an altitude of 400 meters facing southeast.

Age
The vines have an average age of 25 years.

Yield
In 2021 there was an average yield of 55HL per hectare.

Vinification
At harvest, the grapes are selected for ripeness. The vinification and maturation are carried out exclusively in 8-15 year old Burgundy barrels, for 11 months. The wine is filtered and bottled on the estate.
