ARDÈCHE - Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP)

$17.00

Overview

“One imagines a basket of fresh fruit tipped straight into the bottle. The aromas perceived on the nose are found again on the palate in a generous expression, finishing with notes of pink grapefruit”
Gault & Millau 2015

Grape Variety

Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay

Aging Potential

Up to 2 years

Soil

The vineyard is located in southern Ardèche, mainly planted on clay-limestone soils and influenced by the Mistral wind.

Winemaking

Harvested during the coolest hours of the early morning, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay blend harmoniously. The shorter fermentation of the Sauvignon allows for the extraction of freshness and aromatic intensity, while the Chardonnay undergoes malolactic fermentation, bringing roundness and body to the wine.

Wine Description

A bright, clear yellow-green color. A nose of white flowers and citrus fruits. On the palate, a perfect balance combining lightness and suppleness.

Tasting

An ideal companion for aperitifs, as well as all types of fish and seafood. Its freshness and aromatic profile make it perfect for enjoying at any moment, even outside of meals. Serve chilled between 10 and 12°C (50–54°F).
