The Chardonnay grapes for this white Philibert du Charme variety enjoy abundant sunlight, but also the cool breeze. This fresh breeze cools the harvest and contributes to the even growth of the bunches. The strong soil structure supporting the old vines provides the harvest with abundant richness and the right conditions for large-scale growth. At ideal ripeness, the bunches are harvested and taken directly to the Philibert du Charme cellar. Here, the bunches undergo a rigorous selection process, after which the wine matures for a full eight months in oak barrels. The result is a truly full-bodied Chardonnay.
This Philibert du Charme Chardonnay has a beautiful golden yellow color. It has a rich aroma with highly aromatic and fruity notes of fresh bananas and pears, followed by woody notes of praline and candied chestnuts. This very fine and delicate wine is full-bodied and fresh on the palate, finishing with flavors of pear and vanilla. It's a perfect aperitif and complements foie gras, fish in a creamy sauce, seafood, and fresh goat cheese.
