Nose
A rich, intense nose dominated by citrus aromas and a hint of orange flower.
Palate
This elegant aromatic display continues in the mid-palate, with great freshness and impressive length of flavour.
Growing Conditions
Gascony with its rich, green valleys nestled at the foot of the Pyrenees produces 90% white wines. The influence of the oceanic climate combines with the mountains nearby to create an ideal microclimate for bringing out all the aromas of the wines.
Clay and limestone mixed soils.
Winemaking
The grapes are pressed using a pneumatic press. The musts of the resultant juice are left to settle under cold conditions (8°C). Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature controlled vats (18°C), started off by the addition of yeasts which are specially selected for their ability to bring out the aromas of the chardonnay and colombard grapes.
Appearance
This Colombard Chardonnay has a positively radiant pale yellow robe.
Food Pairing
This is a classic, easy-drinking wine, perfect as an aperitif and just as good with fish or seafood dishes.
