Description
In a nutshell:
Fancy a creamy, subtly nutty Chardonnay with a touch of sunshine and a refreshingly balanced finish?
The lowdown:
This southern French Chardonnay shows a delightful balance between richness and freshness. The nose offers hints of candied peel and citrus zest, followed by subtle toasty oak and a touch of hazelnut and brioche. The palate is smooth and rounded, with a light nuttiness that lingers alongside hints of gingerbread spice. Lively acidity keeps the wine energetic, making it eminently drinkable. Crafted from grapes grown in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, the high altitude and warm climate allow the Chardonnay to ripen slowly, resulting in ripe fruit character balanced by refreshing acidity. This is a well-made and enjoyable Chardonnay that offers complexity without being overdone.
The Producer:
Boutinot, the guys responsible for the Les Volets range, is a big name in the UK's wine scene and are behind many labels seen on shelves up and down the country. Paul Boutinot kicked things off in 1980, starting with importing wines and soon partnering with winemakers around the globe. They've since gone on to produce their own wines from places like the Rhône Valley, Italy, South Africa and many other places. Their secret is in backing passionate winemakers who aren't afraid to push the envelope, always aiming for wines that really capture the essence of their regions. This, along with providing excellent value for money, is something they've really nailed.
When to drink:
This silky wonder is perfect for a creamy chicken dish, risotto bursting with mushrooms, or a simple pasta with clams.
Suitable for Vegans
