Montsablé Chardonnay 2021 (12 bottles) Languedoc, France

$298.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our Chardonnay is harvested from cooler vineyards in the Haute Vallée of Limoux. Altitude, climate and limestone rich soils combine to produce outstanding fruit, with which we create wines of elegance and freshness.

The slower ripening grapes benefit from a period of cold skin contact and maceration. Pressing of the grapes with separation of free-run juice from pressed must. Cold static must settling. Temperature controlled fermentation at 17-18°C.

The wine is left on its lees to add complexity of flavour, texture and weight whilst retaining a crisp, refreshing, ripe fruit finish. 20% of the wine is aged in French wood for 3 months.

About Montsable

The wines of Montsablé are inspired by the desire to craft elegant Burgundian varietals from Southern France. Working with growers in the cooler, lower vigour, sites of the St Chinian area of Languedoc, seeking out fruit which delivers pure flavours & great balance.

The Haute Vallée Limoux may be close to the wilds of the mighty Pyrénées but the cooler climate and limestone rich soils are the perfect host to classic noble varietals. With a tip of a hat to our Burgundian cousins, we craft fresh, elegant and complex wines.

In the winery, the fruit is handled carefully to build texture & mouthfeel, with oak only ever used to add just the subtlest of seasoning. The result is a Chardonnay with great palate weight, bright fruit & texture, while the Pinot Noir positively sings with lifted cherry & wild strawberry fruit.
