RNDC
With its expertise in Chardonnay, Laroche and Mas la Chevalire is launching a low proof Pays dOc wine. The development of this wine is the result of an observation of societys interest in drinking more responsibly.
Label
The Label: The Petit Chardonnay is presented in an enameled bottle eco designed with a recyclable cork made from sugar cane derivatives. Its nautical style was inspired by the nine locks of Fonseranes an Unesco World Heritage site located 5 minutes from Mas La Chevalire.
Vineyard Profile
Vineyards: Made from grapes selected from cool terroirs in the Orb valley and the Limoux area.
Vinification
The fruit was pressed at night to avoid oxidation and limit the use of sulfur. This was followed by a light settling and a slow fermentation with Chardonnay-friendly yeasts (Burgundian). The wine is aged on fine lees for 4 to 5 months. A small percentage is aged in wood (7.5%) To be noted is the use of vegetable fining agents (wine is vegan) before cold stabilization. Finally, after aging, 20% of the alcohol is removed using a technique respectful of the wine, preserving its aromatic potential.
Technical Information
Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay
Alcohol: 9.5%
Tasting Notes
This Petit Chardonnay is very aromatic with lovely floral and citrus notes. On the palate, the structure of this wine, lighter than a classic Chardonnay, has a nice acidity that balances with the low alcohol level. The smooth and crisp finish makes it a very pleasant wine
Winemaker, Graud Blanc
