Les Volets Chardonnay, Pays de la Haute Vallée de l’Aude wine is a flavoursome Burgundian style Chardonnay.
The Haute Vallée de L’Aude benefits from a warm climate combined with high altitude which results in wines with concentrated fruit yet refreshing acidity. Made from mostly hand-picked grapes, 20% has been vinified in old oak, imparting texture and body. Bright acidity gives way to green apple and brioche notes. Old oak barrels have added texture and given a toasted hazelnut twist. For those looking for a high-quality Chardonnay, this punches well above its weight and matches beautifully with baked chicken with a creamy sauce, wild mushroom risotto or pasta with clams in white wine.
