The grapes are harvested exclusively from ripe Chardonnay varieties that are optimally adapted to the demanding terroir. This area is characterized by calcareous soils that lend the white wines pronounced minerality and freshness. Great importance is attached to selectivity during the harvest in order to process only fully ripe and flawless grapes. The subsequent vinification is carried out with the utmost care: after gentle pressing of the grapes, the must is fermented at a controlled temperature to optimally preserve the delicate aromas of peach and butter. Modern technology is used to guarantee maximum freshness. The wine is partly matured in stainless steel tanks to retain its fruity clarity. At the same time, part of the wine ages in French oak barrels, which emphasizes the velvety vanilla notes and provides a creamy texture. This combination of traditional and modern methods clearly highlights the character of the Chardonnay Pouilly-sur-Loire and makes it a typical yet multi-layered white wine.
