Le Rendez-Vous Chardonnay Reserve 2020

Pays d’Oc IGP, France

Le Rendez-Vous Chardonnay Reserve is a beautiful new white wine gem of 100% Chardonnay from the Languedoc of France. We found the whimsical name and label irresistible and then fell in love with the wine! More than 40% of the final blend is put in contact with oak. Slow alcoholic fermentation (3 to 6 weeks) with controlled temperatures. The wine is aged for 9 months in contact with oak on fine lees with lees stirring. Partial malolactic fermentation gives complexity to the whole cuvée.

With its clear and limpid lovely golden color, this wine has fruity aromas of pear and pineapple, white flowers and hazelnut, with a slightly buttery finish and subtle vanilla hints. Very nice minerality and freshness.

Enjoy Le Rendez-Vous Chardonnay Reserve over the next 3-4 years with roast chicken, grilled halibut, fried oysters, chicken salad and mild cheeses.
