Les Côtes
The purity of a grand Chardonnay
Varietals
100% Chardonnay
Tasting Note
Golden yellow highlights and a complex nose redolent of citrus fruits, white flesh fruit and discreet mineral notes are the prelude to an intense, long and elegant mouth.
Food and wine pairing
Serve during aperitifs, with shellfish, fish or Bresse chicken.
Soils
At the heart of the village of Groslée, amid the loops of the river Rhone, "Les Cotes" faces south-east. On the side of this hill composed of glacial moraine lies a superb terroir of siliceous clay. Following wisdom handed down through the generations, I only plant Chardonnay in this soil, which brings out this grape's finesse and nobility to perfection.
Vinification
After a rigorous selection during harvesting, this wine receives all the care a modern cellar can give it in terms of temperature control followed by ageing on lees (batonnage) to give it a more complex aromatic note and a good structure. We carry out all the wine making, ageing and bottling ourselves.
