Les Petites Cabanes Chardonnay Reserve

This story begins in the magnificent Languedoc-Roussillon region, located in southeastern France. For decades, this region has been a popular tourist destination. Tens of thousands of tourists find their way to sun-drenched Languedoc-Roussillon every year. Winemaking here has been less long. Wine has been produced here for centuries, but it was largely dull and uninspiring. Since the Languedoc and Roussillon regions merged some 40 years ago, quality has skyrocketed, and we can now enjoy beautiful wineries like Tour Saint Martin.

A wood-aged Chardonnay wine

The crown jewel in Tour Saint Martin's extensive range is this Les Petites Cabanes Chardonnay Reserve. A beautiful oak-aged Chardonnay that wine lovers will delight in. The secret of this white wine lies primarily in the vineyards, which are located about 30 minutes north of Carcassonne. The vineyards are situated in a unique microclimate, making it slightly cooler here than in the rest of the Languedoc-Roussillon. This allows the Chardonnay grapes to develop perfectly, resulting in the abundant flavor of the phenomenal Tour Saint Martin Chardonnay Reserve.

Strong impressions in this Chardonnay from France

After harvest and fermentation, the grapes are lightly aged in oak. The winemaker does this to give the wine a touch more power, firmness, and creaminess. But what stands out most of all is the smoothness of this Chardonnay from Tour Saint Martin. The enjoyment begins as soon as you pour the wine: You smell and taste everything. The corners of your mouth turn up. You recognize vanilla, fresh apricots and peaches, butter, and a hint of ripe pineapple. Its robust, rounded character has been making wine lovers around the world smile for years.
