MONTSABLÉ CHARDONNAY 2024

From the Languedoc region of the south of France comes this Chardonnay which is bursting with personality and flavour. We are particularly taken with this new 2024 vintage release, noting its grilled peach, grapefruit, savoury nutty flavours that make it quite new worldly in style yet with that certain 'je n'ais se quoi' that can only be French.

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"The Chardonnay is harvested from cooler vineyards in the Haute Vallée of Limoux. Altitude, climate and limestone rich soils combine to produce outstanding fruit, with which we create wines of elegance and freshness.

The slower ripening grapes benefit from a period of cold skin contact and maceration. Pressing of the grapes with separation of free-run juice from pressed must. Cold static must settling. Temperature controlled fermentation at 17-18°C. The wine is left on its lees to add complexity of flavour, texture and weight whilst retaining a crisp, refreshing, ripe fruit finish. 20% of the wine is aged in French wood for 3 months.

Bright pale golden colour, with scents of wild flower and notes of white fruit such as apricot and peach and a fresh citrus finish. rounded off nicely with a touch of well integrated oak."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, February 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"It's finely expressed on the nose, displaying Gala apple, lemon peel, nougat, and biscotti notes, followed by a beautifully flowing palate that's juicy and rounded. Well supported by bright acidity, making it harmonious and elegantly flavoursome. At its best: now to 2028."
