The vineyards of Maison Robert Vic lie in the south of France on the Mediterranean coast. Today, the 250-hectare estate is managed by Jerome Vic and his wife Aurélie. They are the fifth generation at the helm.
The vineyards' diverse soil structures and microclimates create a highly complex harvest. Jérôme has elevated the selection and often blending of the grapes to a true art. The subsoil consists of ash from the now-extinct Roque Haute volcano, alongside basalt, clay, and gravel from the nearby Libron River. In the 1960s and 1970s, grandfather Georges Vic began replanting higher-quality grapes for finer wines, and the harvest is now truly paying off.
Only the finest grapes are good enough to ultimately bear the Maison Robert Vic label. After harvest, a modern vinification process takes place at a low temperature. Forty percent of this Chardonnay is aged for four months. This ultimately results in a beautiful, rich, and full-bodied Chardonnay with aromas of tropical fruit, a touch of honey, and a hint of oak. The palate boasts exotic fruits like melon and papaya, mild acidity, and a refined finish. Serving suggestions: with creamy cheeses, fish in cream sauce, veal escalopes, and as an aperitif.
