"Pristine and nicely lifted, the bouquet shows grapefruit, nectarine, fig and lemon peel aromas, followed by a succulent palate that delivers bright fruit flavours together with fine texture and refreshing acidity. A charming elegant rendition" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2020

A lovely golden colour in the glass. Aromatic, elegant and generous, this Chardonnay has delicious aromas of pear and pineapple. Notes of hazelnuts, toasted brioche, peaches with wild fennel and straw tones waft from the glass.

La Belle Angèle was a famous character of the early 20th century. Known for her beauty and joie de vivre, she was the muse of many French impressionist painters. La Belle Angèle wines praise this figure of the «Belle Epoque» by embodying the same values that characterized the woman: charm, elegance, joie de vivre and fine taste.

La Belle Angèle Chardonnay grows on limestone and marly soils.

Chardonnay is a relatively early budding variety, which is susceptible to springtime frosts in cold continental terroirs. It also ripens early. Moderately fertile, predominantly calcareous or marl-rich soils with loose calcareous sediments best suit Chardonnay. This grape variety prefers soils with good capacity to retain water: extreme drought would prove harmful. In deep soils, Chardonnay radiates a richer, more full-bodied and pleasing character.

The grapes are harvested early in the morning and directly pressed. Cold settling of the juice before fermentation at relatively low temperature. This Chardonnay is aged on the lees in vats for about three months.

Food Pairing: This Chardonnay will perfectly match fish and chicken dishes. It is also excellent served on its own, as an aperitif. Serve at 10°C.
