Bourg Lachamps Chardonnay 2006
|
These are appreciated by the tourists that flock there every Summer, the only time it gets busy, to enjoy the abundant watersports, its impressive landscape of dramatic gorges and winding valleys, and attractions such as its prehistoric caves.
The idea behind the wine was to make it in the style of a white Burgundy, so it was carefully cool-fermented with some lees-ageing and given a malolactic fermentation to produce a wine with broad, creamy character and underlying acidity..
In fact, we made our first Chardonnay there in the 1980s with Flying Winemaker extraordinaire Brian Croser from Petaluma a legendary estate in Oz and haven't looked back since.
Despite its proximity to this famous French region, the area has remained relatively unknown to most, yet it produces some excellent value, quality wines.
We have been working with the Valvigneres cellar for the last 20+ years, always impressed with the extremely high quality of fruit they bring in.
In 2006, the Greek New Yorker Zane Katzikis, who trained with top Aussie winemaker Philip Shaw, was in charge for us.
However, more recently it has shown its potential with international stars such as Cabernet and Chardonnay.
Traditionally the area has grown the same range of grapes as its neighbour.
Price : £ 7.29
