Any wine which carries the Louis Jadot label must of necessity be produced to the most exacting standards. The vines are carefully pruned during the dormant phase of winter, so crucial to regulating yields and optimizing quality. Louis Jadot believes that the only way to truly respect grapes is to harvest by hand. On the sorting table, only the ripest and healthiest are selected. Chardonnay is fermented slowly in Burgundian casks of 228 litres called pieces. The vineyards at Saint Veran are planted predominately to very stony, limestone soils. Harmony between earth and vine is the key relationship. Vinified in tank and bottled the following spring to develop ever so sightly yet retain all the freshness, fruit and vibrancy
Pale straw-gold in colour. Very dry, delicate and youthful, with a subtle nutty flavour which lends the wine a supple, textured roundness. Refreshing as an aperitif, it is also a superb accompaniment to hors d’oeuvre, delicately flavoured charcuterie, oysters, seafood and snails. "A conversation starter for its quality to arouse and to exhilarate. A luscious minerality, rivetting bouquets of dandelion and stewed mussels, asparagus and grass to the palate, nutty and oily and complex. Envigorating, brazen and assertive, it cleanses and compliments like a treatment at your favourite spa. Inexplicably delicious with anything that should be eaten with chopsticks!" -RieslingRider.com
