Farming: practicing sustainable
This cooperative was founded in 1929 in the south of France to bring a few small, dedicated growers together and give them the ability to continue to farm their land traditionally yet have access to modern winemaking equipment. This partnership has allowed them to craft impressive wines at extraordinary prices. Sourced from terraced vineyards just a few miles outside the ancient cites of Nmes in the western edge of the Languedoc, this is a ripe and clean Chardonnay,
crafted without any oak influence
. Aromas and flavors of
ripe apple
,
pear
, and
citrus
intermingle beautifully on its
mid-weight
palate.
Pairing: Chicken Cordon Bleu
