"This Petit Chardonnay is very aromatic with lovely floral and citrus notes. On the palate, the structure of this wine, lighter than a classic Chardonnay, has a nice acidity that balances with the low alcohol level. The smooth and crisp finish makes it a very pleasant wine”
– Winemaker, Géraud Blanc
The fruit was pressed at night to avoid oxidation and limit the use of sulfur. This was followed by a light settling and a slow fermentation with Chardonnay-friendly yeasts (Burgundian). The wine is aged on fine lees for 4 to 5 months. A small percentage is aged in wood (7.5%) To be noted is the use of vegetable fining agents (wine is vegan) before cold stabilization. Finally, after aging, 20% of the alcohol is removed using a technique respectful of the wine, preserving its aromatic potential.
