With Les Jamelles Chardonnay, Catherine Delaunay demonstrates all of her Burgundian know-how. This wine is complex and elegant, with perfect balance between freshness and fruit, boasting a slight touch of oak and a rich, long, harmonious finish.

Terroir(s)
Six terroirs may go into the production of a Les Jamelles Chardonnay! Cool, mineral or saline terroirs, such as the Thau lagoon basin, the upper Aude valley near Limoux, or the western Aude department; terroirs that lend richness and roundness such as the environs of Narbonne or the slopes of the Orb Valley; or the Aude River plain whose grapes contribute tautness and length.

Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation is slow (3 to 6 weeks) and temperature controlled. Approximately half of the cuvée is aged on oak and on fine lees for 9 months with frequent stirring of the lees (bâtonnage).
Malolactic fermentation for a part of the cuvée that gives buttery notes and complexity to the wine.

Tasting
Les Jamelles Chardonnay stands out for its freshness, fruit and richness, recalling the Burgundian origins of the creator of the wines, Catherine Delaunay.

Description

Wines with a different spirit! ‘Les Jamelles’ is a unique collection of handcrafted varietal wines that have been produced in the Pays d’Oc, South of France, since 1995.

The wines have won praise from the press throughout the world for their excellent quality, placing them in a class of their own. Created by nature and the work of talented men and women, ‘Les Jamelles’ wines offer a real handcrafted quality… the simplicity of authentic products… a different spirit.

The wide variety of wines the Les Jamelles range boasts is only possible due to the diversity of the terroirs and grape varieties that the Languedoc region has to offer. This unique area of production, covering approximately 223,000 hectares, produces 12 million hectolitres of wine per year. It is one of the world’s largest winegrowing regions!

An immense amphitheatre facing the sea, the Languedoc-Roussillon is a multi-faceted region, shaped by coastal zones, mountains, crests and higher-altitude terroirs. Between the Pyrenees to the south-west, the Cévennes to the north-east, the Montagne Noire to the north-west and the Mediterranean coast to the south, the 58 grape varieties authorized by the IGP Pays d’Oc label benefit from a wide diversity of ideal locations that allow them to express their full potential.

Within this immense region, let us set off on a discovery of the production areas that Catherine and her team have selected over the course of the last twenty-five years. These are the terroirs that truly showcase the different grape varieties and bring out their best! Enjoy browsing!
