Parcelles D'Exellence Chardonnay
This wine, with its perfect balance between aromatic power and minerality, has a true southern identity. It has also inherited the style and personality of the great Chardonnays produced for decades by Labouré-Roi.
Wine Production
Sourcing and selection of grapes, musts and juices. Separate vinification of each selected lot. Particular attention is paid to the pre-fermentation phase: careful de-stemming, progressive pressing with selection of the press juices, followed by cold stabulation to bring out the full aromatic potential of the grapes. Partial integration of the press wine during the blend according to tasting results. Aged for a minimum 4 months on the lees in tank.
Tasting Notes
Golden yellow. Fine, complex nose with notes of vine peach, citrus and hawthorn. Full-bodied and elegant, revealing the aromatic complexity of citrus and white blossoms. Long, mineral finish.
Food Pairing
Ideal with hors-d’œuvres, buffets, cold appetizers, roast chicken or grilled salmon.

About the Vineyard
The mainly south-facing vines benefit from maximum sunshine and are planted on clay-limestone soils in 3 different areas: the foothills of the Montagne Noire (Minervois), at the foot of the Cévennes (in the north of the Gard département) and in the upper Aude valley. The 20-year-old vines grow at altitudes of between 250 and 400 meters, guaranteeing freshness, liveliness and structure.
