2023 Chardonnay, Les Plants Nobles, Ropiteau Frères

This 2023 Chardonnay from Ropiteau Frères is made with respect for tradition and terroir, combining freshness and softness in an elegant French style. The grapes come from selected vineyards in France with favourable sun exposure, and the wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks with partial malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity while preserving fruity notes. The aroma offers green apple, citrus, white peach and a hint of almond. The palate is fresh and fruity, with ripe pear, lemon and a lightly spiced finish. The mouthfeel is silky and well balanced, with medium body, lively acidity and light minerality. Serve at 8-10°C.
