Aussières Chardonnay

Domaine d'Aussières
Aussières was built on a fertile ecosystem where nature and people come together to learn from each other and create. Our village is very much a living place, where dialogue is the cardinal value. A dialogue of many kinds: between the elements, between the generations that have labored its grounds, between its villagers and craftsmen, and between the wine world’s different schools of thought.That is what moves us forward, ultimately creating wines that tell a story of place, respect and nuance.

The vintage
In the Languedoc, the cold, wet winter, very wet spring, and substantial rain in June, brought the benefit of well-replenished groundwater reserves, and the inconvenience of rampant mildew that affected certain areas in the region.
Thanks to a very hot summer punctuated by regular, short spells of rain, accompanied by dry air and favourable temperatures with a marked difference between day and night-time temperatures, the characteristic of the vintage that will be most remembered is the exceptional quality of the harvest.
This propitious weather enabled the grapes to be picked at optimal ripeness. 2018 has all the characteristics of a fine vintage, at Aussières and in the Languedoc.
Varietal
Chardonnay : 100%

Tasting
Pale yellow colour with green reflections.
Nice aromatic elegance on the nose with delicate notes of citrus fruit and white flowers.
On the palate the wine reveals good volume without being heavy. The finish combines richness and liveliness, good length with aniseed and citrus notes.
To be enjoyed at its best 2019-2020.
