"Silken-textured Chardonnay with ripe tree fruit, wildflowers, lemon curd, ginger and a suggestion of oyster-shell. An impressive and ethereal wine with purity and subtle power. Delicious now but no rush" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Nov 2021

"Beautifully styled and enticing, the wine shows apricot, fig, hazelnut and subtle vanilla nuances with a hint of oatmeal complexity. It's finely expressed on the palate offering pristine fruit flavours together with discreet oak infusion, wonderfully complemented by creamy texture and refreshing acidity. Harmonious and soothing with a lengthy elegant finish. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2021

Bright and pale gold in the glass. The nose displays intense aromas of peach and ripe pear, with slight notes of white blossom and honeysuckle. A bunch of fresh stone fruits on the palate, with a crisp and mineral-driven texture.

Produced under the supervision of renowned oenologist Xavier Roger. Les Peyrautins combines modern techniques to compliment the best of traditional French wine regions. The result is a perfect combination of the New and Old world.

Chardonnay is the most popular white grape in the world. With grapes sourced along an axis between Carcassonne and Béziers his Pays d'Oc wine region benefits from the Mediterranean climate and is a perfect place to style ripe, fruity yet understated Chardonnay. It provides warm, dry summers for grapes to reach a perfect maturity. To the north the Montagne Noire (Black Mountain range) brings cooler evening temperatures to retain aromatic freshness and vibrant acidity.

The 2020 harvest in the Languedoc was plentiful, early and healthy. Ripeness was consistent across-the-board and the harvest was shorter than usual. It has produced perfumed, characterful wines with a high degree of ripeness.

Gentle pneumatic pressing ensures extraction of premium juice only. Cool fermentation in stainless steel vats at 16/18°C retains fruitiness and to preserve the freshness of the wine malolactic fermentation is inhibited. The wine is aged on its fine lees during 5 months with regular stirring before bottling to add richness and complexity.

Food Pairing: Enjoy this wine lightly chilled, with hummus & veggie dips, creamy light cheeses, poultry and fish dishes.
