Description

"Wonderfully fruited and inviting, the wine shows golden peach, baked fig, nougat and cedar characters on the nose, leading to a succulent palate that is fleshy and creamy. Flavoursome and expansive, the wine offers gorgeous richness, well supported by fine texture and refreshing acidity. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The winemaking mission at Fortant de France is to make classic Grand Cru style wine at a good value price. Hence this beautifully poised, elegant white. It’s crafted very much like a high quality white Burgundy, yet the fruit is from the Languedoc. The Languedoc being warmer produces rich, round peachy Chardonnay, not a million miles from a good kiwi Chard. It’s a silky-smooth, long and fruit-forward, a total crowd-pleaser, absolutely over-delivering at this price.

Fortant de France that crafts Terrior d’Altitiude Chardonnay offer the finest expression of the South of France terroir. Fortant played a pioneering role in the South of France, having led a revolution to champion the noble varietals and implementing a rigorous viticultural regime and committed vineyard partnerships with more than one hundred growers on more than two thousand acres.
