Abbotts & Delaunay Les Fruits Sauvages Pays d'Oc Chardonnay 2018 (France)
- French oak
- Ripe peach
- White florals
- Bright acidity
"Intriguing Chardonnay with a strong fruit focus displaying apple, mineral, grapefruit peel and crushed herbs. Dry, but not austere, and accessible now. An attractive wine with character offering very good value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jan 2020
"Stylish and complex, the inviting bouquet shows ripe peach, rockmelon and roasted cashew characters, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that’s silky and creamy. The wine offers fine texture and bright acidity, finishing long and elegant. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2020
Limpid golden robe. Aromas of pear, green apple, hazelnut, white flowers. Fresh, complex, balanced palate. Long finish with slight hints of butter.
The grapes for this wine come from four terroirs: the buttresses of the Cévennes which lend freshness to the wine, the Aude valley, the region of Limoux which gives fruity aromas and the Hérault plain which brings richness and roundness.
1/3 of the cuvée undergoes a 3-week fermentation period in oak barrels (new and one-year-old). 9-months ageing in barrels, on the lees with regular stirring. Malolactic fermentation. The remaining is fermented in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures (18°- 20°C). No malolactic fermentation.
Abbotts & Delaunay varietal wines are fruit forward, easy drinking and elegant wines from the Pays d’Oc that are the perfect complement to our AOC collection. Thanks to work in the vineyards that respects the soil and the vines, we are able to harvest healthy, concentrated grapes as well as take care to preserve the wild plants («Fleurs sauvages» or «Fruits Sauvages») that border them.
Food Pairing: Serve at 12°C as an aperitif, with seafood, fish and charcuterie.
