BIJOU LE CHIC CHARDONNAY
Schist-dominated soils.
The Chardonnay is sourced from selected vineyards around Limoux, an area shaped by four climatic influences: oceanic, Mediterranean, Pyrenean and the Autan wind. Planted at an average altitude of around 300 metres, these sites benefit from good airflow, marked diurnal temperature variation and steady ripening conditions, allowing grapes to reach maturity while retaining natural balance.
The grapes undergo a short cold skin contact of around fourhours before gentle pressing and cold static settling. Fermentation is carried out with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 16 °C. The wine is then aged for three months on fine lees, enhancing texture.
Pale straw in colour, with aromas of citrus, green apple and subtle white stone fruit. The palate is precise and mineral, supported by bright acidity and a fine, linear texture, leading to a clean, focused finish with restrained fruit and freshness.
An excellent match for grilled or poached fish, shellfish and simple seafood dishes, and equally well suited to being enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.
“Wine should come in a glass bottle, right? Actually, wrong, if wine drinkers want to do their bit for the planet’s resources and environment. Glass bottles and their transportation are the two biggest contributors to wine’s carbon footprint.”
