La Belle Angèle Chardonnay 2023 (France)

Description

Nougat, Pear, Pineapple

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.

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. Discover this range of fruit forward, expressive and approachable Vin de France with a new, distinctive, contemporary French presentation.

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