The winemaker tells a beautiful story about La Villette in an almost idyllic way. This winery is named after the eponymous La Villette neighborhood in the 19th arrondissement, just northeast of central Paris. This is a truly authentic old neighborhood, where the bygone eras of Paris are clearly recognizable. La Villette used to be a neighborhood on the outskirts of Paris; due to expansion, it is now practically part of the city center. Because of its location on the outskirts, La Villette was essential for the transport of food, and of course, wine, for Parisians in earlier centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The wines of La Villette\u003c\/h2\u003e \nA beautiful tribute to the old La Villette neighborhood. That must have been the Delaunay family's thought when they founded this winery. This family are true pioneers in the world of wine. In 1995, fresh from their oenology degrees, they established the trading company Badet Clement \u0026amp; Cie. More than 25 years after its founding, they have an impressive track record. They are a true institution in Burgundy, partly because Catherine and Laurent Delaunay's ancestors made a name for themselves here.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The French wine of La Villette\u003c\/h2\u003e \nBy founding the trading house, the newest generation of the Delaunay family wanted to give a face to authentic wines. They have several highly successful wine lines, but La Villette is the most famous. With La Villette, they wanted to showcase the power of French winemaking to an international audience, yet with a taste so accessible that virtually everyone will enjoy it. The authentic labels complete these French wines.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e La Villette has the most beautiful wines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n You can't go wrong with a glass of La Villette wine.

With its balanced flavor profile and aromatic complexity, this wine offers a unique experience for both casual drinkers and wine enthusiasts.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Origin and Vineyards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The grapes for this Chardonnay come from carefully selected vineyards in southwestern France, primarily at the foot of the Pyrenees. The climate and soil conditions in this region contribute to the development of grapes with an optimal balance of freshness and ripeness.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Vinification process\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAfter harvest, the grapes undergo a 10- to 12-day fermentation period in both French and American oak. The wine is then aged for six months \"sur lie\" (on the yeast sediment), which contributes to a fuller flavor and creamy texture. About half of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, during which sharp malic acid is converted into a softer lactic acid, resulting in a smoother wine with a rounded finish.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Tasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n In the glass, La Villette Chardonnay presents itself with a bright, golden yellow color. The aroma is dominated by notes of ripe banana, pear, and lemon tart, complemented by subtle hints of toasted bread, vanilla, and roasted nuts. On the palate, you'll experience a rich and full flavor, with a harmonious balance between fruity freshness and creamy nuances, leading to a long, balanced finish.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wine and food pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis Chardonnay is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. It pairs perfectly with rich fish dishes like pan-fried or grilled salmon, as well as pasta in creamy sauces, such as pasta carbonara. It also pairs well with poultry and light meat dishes, as well as aged cheeses.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Serving Temperature and Storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n For optimal enjoyment, we recommend serving this wine at a temperature between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius. Although La Villette Chardonnay is ready to drink, it can be aged for several years under suitable conditions, further developing its complexity.","brand":"Wijntransport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775942004815,"sku":"6245","price":8.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/LaVilletteChardonnay.webp?v=1764938089"},{"product_id":"la-villette-cabernet-sauvignon","title":"La Villette Cabernet Sauvignon","description":"We couldn't imagine life without La Villette Winery, and the La Villette Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception.
