Long-term wood aging for Elite d'Or Chardonnay Roussanne

Domaine de La Baume's wines are recognized as some of the finest quality wines from the Languedoc region. They have won numerous awards in recent years, and for good reason. The secret of their success lies not only in the careful selection of the grapes but also in the modern technologies they employ during winemaking. By combining tradition with innovation, they succeed in creating wines that are both classic and contemporary, perfectly reflecting the unique terroir of the Languedoc region. The vines are at least 25 years old and deeply rooted in the rich soils of the Languedoc and Rhône. This contributes to the wine's complexity and depth. Careful aging in oak barrels for 12 months enhances the intrinsic qualities of the Chardonnay and Roussanne grapes, creating a wine that is both rich and refined.
