With a great balance of fruit, acidity and texture, Chardonnay goes well with ev

Maison CharmanteTERROIR France is one of the most important wine-growing nations in the world. The heart of its viticultural heritage is the concept of "Terroir". The term describes how a grape variety expresses itself in terms of flavour, aromas and colour when the vines are grown in ideal conditions (well-suited soils, winds, temperatures ...). The vintner's winemaking skills also play an important role. France offers a fascinating diversity of Terroirs like no other country. WINEMAKING The winemaking process at harmonious at Maison Charmonte is a blend of modern and traditional techniques. After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and crushed. A portion undergoes the modern process of hot maceration, extracting fruity aromas, while the other portion goes through traditional fermentation in concrete tanks, with regular pumping to extract colour and tannins. This balanced approach, combining innovation and tradition, results in a youthful and easy-drinking wine. The wine is then aged on its fine lees for 4 months, adding depth and complexity to the final product.
