Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes

2018 Arbois Chardonnay

The Vignerons Les Matheny Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes from the Arbois region is a striking expression of old-vine Chardonnay, showcasing the unique terroir of this renowned wine-growing area. This white wine offers a medium-bodied profile, beautifully balanced by its lively acidity, which imparts a refreshing brightness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, with enticing notes of ripe citrus and stone fruits, complemented by subtle oak undertones. This Chardonnay reveals a well-structured mouthfeel, where the oak integration adds depth without overpowering the fruit. With its dry character, it presents a delightful tension between richness and elegance, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with a variety of seafood dishes or a simply crafted cheese platter.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
