Tasting Notes: This wine has a lustrous golden color. It is complex and expressive with notes of ripe pears and quince. There are subtle aromas of vanilla, honey and marron glacé. The palate is opulent with a silky texture. This wine is well balanced, with subtle toasted oak character.
This Premium Chardonnay is one of those treasures that can only be found on a singular land like the Domaine Saint-André. It is the golden gem of the vineyard.
The harvest takes place at night, when the temperatures are the coolest. Gentle pressing of whole bunches in a pneumatic press preserves quality. Fermentation and maturation take place in French new oak barrels of 400 L providing toasty and vanilla notes. 50% of the wine undergoes a malolactic fermentation. The wine is kept on its fine lees for 4 months before bottling.
In the heart of Languedoc , facing the town of Sète and Mont Saint Clair, cradled by the Lagoon of Thau, the Domaine Saint-André, with an area of 30 hectares, brings together all the traditional grape varieties of the Languedoc ( Cinsault, Carignan, Chardonnay, Muscat, Roussanne, Vermentino and Viognier ), to which are added certain Bordeaux grape varieties ( Merlot and Cabernet Franc ). Its vineyard benefits from a Mediterranean climate tempered by maritime influences. Its soil, predominantly clay-limestone, is conducive to the production of excellent quality wines.
James Suckling, 2024, 91 points: "A structured, ample and focused chardonnay with notes of apples, sliced pears, cedar and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied with a well-rounded midpalate. Well driven and cream, with a dense and seductive finish. Drink or hold."
Food Match : Perfect with white meats, pasta carbonara, white truffle risotto, or chicken tagine with crystallized lemon. Serve it slightly chilled
