Le Champ des Etoiles Chardonnay is made in classic Mâcon Villages style by Chai winemaker Mark Hoddy. Mark, however, chooses to use the best grapes from ocean cooled vineyards in the Languedoc. A great white with creamy stone fruit and elegant zip.

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 white is crafted very much like a fine white Burgundy, yet the fruit is from the Languedoc. Our winemaker Mark Hoddy 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 solo or with creamy white meat dishes.
