Louis Latour Grand Ardèche Chardonnay

The Louis Latour Grand Ardèche Chardonnay is a refined white wine that combines Burgundian tradition with the unique characteristics of the Ardèche region in southern France. As a "Grand" variety, this wine is distinguished by its exceptional grape selection and careful vinification process, inspired by the great white Burgundies.

Vineyard and Vinification

Louis Latour's vineyards in the Ardèche region benefit from chalky soils and a Mediterranean climate, ideal for the Chardonnay grape. What makes Grand Ardèche unique is the selection of the finest grapes from these vineyards, followed by a vinification process that elevates its quality. The wine is fermented in French oak barrels, a technique known for enriching aromas and adding complexity. The wine is then aged for 10 months "sur lie," which creates a full texture and subtle notes of butter and vanilla.

Tasting notes

The Grand Ardèche Chardonnay presents a bright, golden yellow color in the glass. The nose unfolds a bouquet of honey, acacia, and almonds, complemented by ripe apricot and a hint of vanilla. The palate is rich and balanced, with nuances of almond paste, butter, and a light minerality. The finish is elegant and lingering, making this wine a perfect choice for lovers of refined Chardonnays.
