Les Volets Chardonnay is produced in the Aude department in the south of France. It is part of the Languedoc, a wine region extremely popular with Dutch tourists. The sunny days are ideal for the growth of the beautiful Chardonnay grapes. However, the gentle night breeze provides the necessary coolness in the vineyards. A perfect combination, we might say. After the harvest, approximately 20% of the juice is fermented in oak. This gives Les Volets Chardonnay a little more body and sets it apart from other Languedoc wines.
The oak aging is clearly doing its job. Even though only 20% receives light oak aging, it's clearly recognizable in both the aroma and taste of this sublime Chardonnay. From now on, make sure you always have a bottle of Les Volets Chardonnay chilled, because this sensation is always worth enjoying. The aroma offers pleasant acidity of Granny Smith and citrus. You'll smell subtle nuances of brioche bread. The palate is soft, creamy, yet refreshing. You'll taste tropical fruit, peach, and a hint of hazelnut. The flavor is intense, yet never overpowering. It's no wonder Les Volets Chardonnay is so beloved by many wine drinkers.
