WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Antugnac Chardonnay is a vibrant expression of high-altitude terroir at the foothills of the Pyrenees. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay, this wine showcases the unique character of a vineyard rich in marine fossils and nurtured by a sunny yet cool microclimate. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, gently pressed by gravity, and undergo slow fermentation and malolactic transformation in stainless steel tanks. Extended aging on fine lees through the winter adds depth and texture, while minimal intervention ensures purity and authenticity. Domaine Antugnac Chardonnay is a testament to the harmony of nature and meticulous winemaking, delivering an elegant and refined representation of its Languedoc roots.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Domaine Antugnac Chardonnay offers a bright and fresh profile with crisp acidity.Its aromas evoke citrus fruits, green apple, and subtle floral notes, underscored by a hint of minerality from the fossil-rich soils. On the palate, it is clean and refined, with a delicate balance of fruit and texture, enhanced by the extended aging on fine lees. This versatile Chardonnay pairs beautifully with grilled fish, oysters, and light seafood dishes. It complements creamy pasta, roasted chicken, and mild cheeses like Brie or Camembert, while also shining alongside fresh salads and vegetable risottos for a lighter pairing.

ORIGINS
Winery: Collovray & Terrier
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
