En Lya

Cotes Du Jura Chardonnay

The Domaine Des Carlines En Lya, a Chardonnay hailing from the picturesque Cotes Du Jura, offers an enchanting expression of this renowned grape variety. As you pour this wine, you are greeted by a shimmering golden hue that hints at the elegance within. On the nose, aromatic layers of ripe green apple, fresh pear, and a tantalizing touch of citrus zest emerge, underscored by subtle notes of toasted almond and delicate floral nuances. The palate is a harmonious blend of a well-defined body, which feels both full and refined, enlivened by a vibrant, almost mouthwatering acidity that adds crispness and clarity to each sip. The fruit intensity is beautifully balanced, allowing the juicy orchard fruit flavors to shine alongside whispers of minerality and a touch of buttery oak. This Chardonnay concludes with a lingering finish that leaves you with a graceful impression of finesse and complexity. Renowned for its exceptional quality, Domaine Des Carlines En Lya perfectly captures the essence of the Cotes Du Jura, inviting you to savor a wine that is as sophisticated as it is approachable.

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.
