PAYS D'OC

JEAN-PAUL FONTAINE

Crunchy fruity with a subtle exotic touch

Cépage : Chardonnay
Terroir : Minervois; area of extremely varied soils and landscapes, in this case mainly clay and limestone terraces, near the foothills of the Black Mountain, the soils are poor enough to cause naturally low yields. The climate is Mediterranean and marked by a water deficit, a high daytime heat and cooler nights due to the nearby high limestone plateau.
Vinification : Harvest at optimal maturity preserving freshness, slow pressing, light skin maceration, settling under cold temperature. Fermentation on fine lees led under strict controlled temperatures.
Tasting : Great balance between opulence and finesse in this easy drinking Chardonnay that will perform on any dishes and with any kind of food.
