Pierre Girardin Bourgogne Eclat de Calcaire 2022
Veramonte Chardonnay 2023
CHARDONNAY | 2023
CASABLANCA VALLEY
BRIGHT • LUSCIOUS • SMOOTH
This Chardonnay seduces with its fresh and expressive aromas of pear , pineapple , quince, nectarine , zesty lemon and intertwined with notes of toasted oak. A vibrant purity of fruit, a beautiful texture and a good length on the palate give the wine a pleasant balance.
This vintage in Casablanca presented good conditions starting in spring, setting us up for excellent flowering and fruit set. Harvest began the last week of February, which was slightly delayed from what we had planned. However, things sped up and we had a very good ripening curve, especially at the end of the season. This year, the first varieties to be harvested were Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, having received very good temperatures from October onwards.
This Chardonnay is silky and mineral and is without a doubt an elegant and expressive wine.
Recommended Serving Temperature: 12ºC
Food Pairing: Seafood, Chicken Salad
