🏰 A Taste of History from the Languedoc

Experience the elegance of the Languedoc with the Pierre et Antonin Chardonnay. Sourced from the prestigious I.G.P. Cité de Carcassonne appellation, this wine is a true ambassador for a region recognized as a World Heritage Site. The surrounding vineyards benefit from a unique terroir, crafting a wine of exceptional finesse and character.

✨ Wine Profile & Terroir

The Unique High-Altitude Vineyard

• Elevation & Climate: The vineyard is situated at over 200m (650 ft) above sea level on a cool site facing the majestic Pyrenees. The combination of cool nights and warm summers provides the perfect temperature range for a slow, healthy maturation, ensuring the Chardonnay grapes achieve optimal balance.

• Soil: The vines thrive in a classic Clay-limestone soil composed of fine gravel, which contributes structure and minerality to the finished wine.

🥂 The Winemaking Craft

The dedication to quality is evident in the meticulous winemaking process:

1. Night Harvest: Grapes are picked at night to preserve their full quality potential and maintain freshness.

2. Gentle Pressing: Only the first press juice is collected after de-stemming, ensuring the best acid/fat balance in the must.

3. Fermentation: After a light settling, the wine ferments for approximately twenty days.

4. Maturation: The wine is aged entirely in 100% stainless steel vats and benefits from two months of aging on its fine lees with bâtonnage (stirring). This technique enhances the wine's texture and complexity without introducing oak.

📝 Tasting Notes

"Lush, smooth and full on the palate with nice body and a deliciously unctuous mouthfeel. The volume and succulent character of this rich yet delicate wine is nicely balanced by its tension."

Expect a vibrant yet round Chardonnay that beautifully marries richness with refreshing acidity.

🍽️ Food Pairing & Serving

This versatile Chardonnay is an ideal companion for a variety of dishes:

• Seafood: Perfect alongside grilled mackerel or a classic fish soup.

• Cheese: Pair with a soft, creamy cheese like Chaource to truly bring out its savoury notes.
