ORIGIN
This selection of Chardonnay comes from the Languedoc region to give the wine this balanced fruit flavour and acidity

VINIFICATION
The grapes are harvested during the second part of September, when they have a nice golden skin. The thermo-regulated alcoholic fermentation lasts 3-4 weeks and is followed by a 100% malolactic fermentation. Part of the must (20%) is fermented in oak barrels. The wines are aged on their lees until bottling.
