Les Argelieres Chardonnay

Les Argelieres is a unique range of modern, fruity varietal wines from the Languedoc, made with the aim of showing the elegance, subtlety and perfect varietal signature’ of each grape variety as planted in the warmth of Southern France. This ripe and tropical fruit-laden Chardonnay shows how well the noble Chardonnay grape can blend and fuse with toasty oak, from grapes grown on cooler hill sites and with a yield that is limited so as to express the buttery, golden apple and creamy characters that this grape is knowN for. Almost New World in character, but with layers of complex minerality and freshness.

Nick’s Wednesday Night Sausage Wine:

… “Les Argelieres Chardonnay shows how well Chardonnay can present itself with the judicious and careful use of oak. A wine maker once told me that he views the use of oak like a frame for a painting- the oak is there only to support and enhance the wine rather than dominate the picture. It’s about balance. Les Argelieres  has lovely rich fruit and a creamy mouth feel, the slight toast oak adds to it and gives it structure and a nice vanilla and spice touch. We paired it with a Chicken and Leek pie and the fruit and the creaminess went delightfully with it”.
