Origins

This range, of easy-drinking wines, pays tribute to the great noble French varietals and especially to the roots of Ropiteau Frères.

Varietal

100% Chardonnay

Tasting notes

COLOUR: Beautiful pale gold with green tinges, bright and clear. NOSE: Complex aromas of citrus and exotic fruits as well as toasted nuts. PALATE: A rich yet fresh wine with softness and lingering fruitiness. Very delicate mouth feel.

Vinification and maturing

De-stemming, short maceration with skin contact, pressing, controlled fermentation at low temperatures, some in oak. Malolactic fermentation was partially stopped to preserve freshness. A blend of wines which have undergone different types of vinification allowed us to obtain greater finesse and aromatic complexity. One third of the cuvee benefited from maceration in different wood-fired oak barrels which adds aromatic complexity and gives a sugar feel in the mouth.

Food and wine pairing
