No fewer than six terroirs are used in the production of this Chardonnay from Les Jamelles. It is a combination of cool, mineral, and saline terroirs. The Thau Lagoon, the Aude Valley near Limoux, and the western Aude department contribute to the richness and roundness of this wine. The grapes thrive in varying temperatures, and the diverse soil structures allow the Chardonnay grapes to develop optimally. The result is a fresh and fruity Chardonnay of the highest quality.

Wood aging for Les Jamelles Chardonnay

Les Jamelles is located in the southern French region of Languedoc-Roussillon, known as the world's largest wine-growing area. The region's geographical diversity produces fine and exceptional wines. Since 1991, the winery has been run by Catherine and Laurent Delaunay. Both oenologists hail from Burgundy. Winemaking is ingrained in their family, as they have been active in the industry for four generations. The grapes are carefully harvested, after which a strict selection process takes place in the cellar. Only the finest grapes are pressed. The subsequent alcoholic fermentation lasts three to six weeks at a controlled temperature. After this, approximately half of the blend is aged in oak barrels for nine months. The lees are stirred regularly. Some of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, which imparts buttery notes and complexity.

What does Les Jamelles Chardonnay taste like?

The Les Jamelles Chardonnay is remarkably fresh and fruity. It certainly evokes the Burgundian origins of its winemaker, Catherine Delaunay. The Chardonnay gleams bright gold in the glass, and we immediately enjoy aromas of apricots and pears, hazelnut, and white flowers. On the palate, it's a complex yet balanced wine with remarkable freshness and a long, rich finish with vanilla, a hint of butter, and lemon. It pairs beautifully with oriental dishes or a delicious whitefish.
