Sister wine to Le Champ des Etoiles Pinot Noir, this crisp Chardonnay is made in classic Mâcon Villages style, yet the fruit comes from two top spots in the Languedoc. Deliciously creamy and rounded, it offers stone fruit with elegant minerally zip.

Raison d’être at Le Chai au Quai is to make classic style wine at a good value price. Hence this beautifully poised, elegant white. It’s crafted very much like a high quality white Burgundy, yet the fruit is from the Languedoc. Winemaker Mark Hoddy picked out two super premium parcels of Chardonnay – one from Océanique Limoux, high in the hills and one from Pic Saint Loup, renowned for its ultra fresh whites. No wonder this wine has so much minerally elegance. Mark aged the wine on its lees in used old barrels. Why used? Then the oak lends a creamy round texture, whilst also enabling the wine to age and gain complexity. Yet it retains a minimum of spice and the fruit remains foremost. Gently chill and serve with creamy white meat dishes.
