Combe Rocher Reserve Pays D'Oc Chardonnay 2023 (France)
- French oak
- Apricot
- Nougat
- Creamy
"It's elegantly fragrant on the nose with apricot, rockmelon, nougat and oatmeal nuances. The palate delivers intricate mouthfeel combined with creamy texture and beautifully infused acidity, making it stylish and delightfully drinkable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Delicate yet distinctive bouquet and palate of fresh yellow peach, apricot and grapefruit with a floral and red apple quality. Flavours of the palate remain persistent enhanced by the acid line and gentle granitic quality, also adding a line of complexity. Well made, fresh and dry on the finish with best drinking from 2024 through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
Produced by the highly acclaimed LGI wines, who were awarded Best French Still Wine Producer at the Berliner Wein Trophy for three years in a row. Originally the brainchild of Alain Grignon, who had a vision of making affordable, classic French wines designed specifically for the international market. Now under the supervision of oenologist Xavier Roger. The Combe Rocher (literally ‘rocky valley’) range is one of pure authenticity crafted from carefully selected terroirs, situated on high altitude slopes, with rocky soils. The terroir effect is very noticeable in this region due to the great variety of winegrowing microclimates that create an expression of the grape varieties that is unique.
This specific Chardonnay is sourced from lowland vineyards from the Pays d’Oc, planted on calcareous marls. These well-drained soils, located close to the Canal du Midi, are protecting the vines from drought as the Chardonnay needs enough watering to produce balanced and healthy grapes with great aromatic intensity. The grapes are harvested early in the season, in the fresh morning. The pressing is very gentle, in a pneumatic press preserving quality. 30% of the wine ferments under the influence of French oak. The balance is fermented at cooler temperatures in vat without malolactic influence to preserve the freshness of the wine. The wine is aged 6 months on its fine lees with regular stirring to add richness of texture and nutty complexity.
