La Borie Chardonnay

We sometimes encounter wines that we have to look twice because we can't believe our taste buds. This is certainly the case with this La Borie Chardonnay, a wine that's spot on from start to finish. Pure refinement, ripe flavors, and a smooth finish—it all comes together in this white wine with a long history. The name La Borie immediately reveals that we're dealing with an old hand at the craft. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the "Borie" served as a small stone hut built from local stone. These modest abodes, now integrated into the picturesque Languedoc landscape, were once used as stables or seasonal residences by winemakers. For them, it was more than just a shelter—it was a home away from home as they dedicated themselves to working their plots, often miles from their homes. Even today, these charming "bories" can still be found scattered across the hills and fields of the Languedoc. They bear silent witness to the centuries-old dedication to viticulture that has inspired the region to produce world-class wines, such as La Borie Chardonnay.

The old Chardonnay vineyard of La Borie

Nestled in the heart of the Languedoc wine region, the La Borie vineyards are a unique harvest. The old vines absorb abundant nutrients from the centuries-old soil. Furthermore, they thrive in a perfect climate—plenty of sunshine, a gentle breeze, and cool nights—which ensures a top-notch harvest. Once the Chardonnay bunches are ripe, they are harvested and then aged for at least two months on the lees. This process requires considerable attention, and you can taste the difference in this full-bodied Chardonnay.
