2018 Les Benedictins Limoux Chardonnay

Tasting note Limoux Chardonnay

Powerful dry white wine from France with a refined aroma of oak and tropical fruit. The full, powerful taste goes well with grilled or seasoned fish or veal with mushrooms or cream sauce.

Description

It is not often that a chardonnay from outside Burgundy resembles Burgundy so closely. However, that is the case with this beautiful white wine from the Limoux region. On the high cool foothills of the Pyrenees, the grapes ripen more slowly than in the warm valley. As a result, the grape retains an invigorating freshness and more and finer aromas are created.

After fermentation, this chardonnay matures for almost twelve months in small oak casks. It is not for nothing that a previous harvest already won the 'Best European Chardonnay under € 12.50' competition organized by the wine magazine Perswijn.
