IGP Val de Loire Chardonnay C&T - Chardo & Tuffo

Type of wine :

Dry white wine, 100% chardonnay

Vinification :

The Chardonnay grape variety ripens early. These hand-picked grapes are golden yellow, reflecting a beautiful maturity. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place slowly, in barrels, at a temperature of around 15°C. The wine is matured on its lees with stirring, giving it its smoothness and good length.

Tasting :

Eye : Pale yellow with hints of gold and good viscosity.

Nose : Very fine and discreet with aromas of hazelnut and almond.

Mouth : A rich and smooth wine with aromas of white fruits and aniseed, and a good lengh in the mouth.

Food and wine pairing :

Chilled, at 8-10°C, it's perfect with grilled fish, smoked salmon or poultry with cream sauce. It's also suitable for andouillettes and asparagus with Hollandaise sauce.
