The Wine
The mission at Le Chai au Quai is to make classic Grand Cru style wines at a good-value price. So our winemaker, Mark Hoddy, sources grapes not from the pricy, famous-name appellations, but from tucked-away vineyards where the quality is outstanding. This poised, elegant Chardonnay is crafted very much like a fine white Burgundy, yet the fruit is from the Languedoc. Mark sources the best Chardonnay grapes of the vintage from trusted growers, many from cooler sites to retain that tantalising bite of freshness and minerality in the finished wine. Ageing on lees in barrel lends a creamy, rounded texture and complexity to Le Champ. Yet the fruit remains foremost. Gently chill and enjoy on its own or with creamy white meat dishes or salmon.
"Beautiful. Soft, creamy and buttery. A lovely glass of wine, easy to drink (too easy!!)"
