Montsable Chardonnay 2025

This is a Languedoc Chardonnay that takes inspiration from the elegant Burgundian whites from the Mâconnais. The fruit is sourced from the cooler higher valleys of Limoux which allows for a slower ripening period and good levesl of acidity. Just 20% of the wine is oaked which helps give it a mere hint of vanilla while ensuring the freshness leads through allowing the flavours ripe pears and peaches to shine. The good crisp acidity give a real freshness to the palate and a refreshingly clean finish.

Great on its own, this Chardonnay pairs beautifully with dishes like trout meunière or Basque-style roast chicken, as its zesty citrus, ripe apple, and hint of vanilla complement the rich, savoury flavours perfectly.
