WINE DESCRIPTION

The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Vaillons vineyard, which is known for its unique terroir featuring Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and purity. The resulting wine is crisp, elegant, and mineral-driven, with notes of citrus, green apple, and a hint of salinity. It is a perfect match for seafood, shellfish, and creamy cheeses.
