Description

Chardonnay can sometimes be unwieldy, fat and unexciting, but L'Arjolle's Equilibre certainly isn't! This wine has the wonderful combination of ripe tones, fresh elegance and a beautiful oak touch.

Most of the grapes (70%) ferment in stainless steel tanks and mature on the yeast cells for several months. The other part is fermented in small oak casks, followed by a six-month barrel aging.

The blend of both wines produces beautiful fruit notes, with the seductive influence of the oak. Typical southern French chardonnay of excellent quality, made with finesse according to the 'agriculture raisonnée', a sustainable way of viticulture. The vineyards with about thirty year old sticks are located in the village of Margon, near Pézenas and Béziers.

The three colors of Arjolle
The French are particularly proud of their tricolor flag and of the beautiful southern French Languedoc, where delicious 'tricolore wines' come from. White, rosé and red from Domaine de l'Arjolle are exemplary wines for this region.
