Unique Quality and Vinification

The Côte 228 Pech Clamensou Chardonnay reflects the exceptional quality Laurent Miquel strives for. The grapes are hand-picked at night to preserve their freshness and aromas.

Twenty-five percent of the wine is aged for 12 months in old oak barrels, imparting a subtle oaky note without overpowering the fruity freshness. The vineyard, located at an altitude of 228 meters, offers ideal conditions for growing high-quality grapes. This particular plot, known as Pech Clamensou, produces grapes of exceptional quality, resulting in a Chardonnay that is both complex and elegant. In short, the Laurent Miquel Côte 228 Pech Clamensou Chardonnay is a must-try for lovers of refined white wines. This wine offers a unique combination of fruitiness, minerality, and subtle oak notes, perfect for any occasion.
