Since its creation, F. Chauvenet has reflected its attachment to and respect for the Burgundian terroir in the making of its wines.
Bright straw-colored. Generous and seductive with notes of nectarine and acacia. Elegant, round and well balanced with exotic fruit flavors and a long finish.
It is an elegant companion to mixed salads, grilled meats, fish and shellfish.
Serve chilled, at 12°C.
Ready to drink as soon as they are bottled, "Vins de France" are not made to be kept for years.
100% Chardonnay.
De-stemming, short maceration with skin contact, pressing, controlled fermentation at low temperatures, some in oak. Malolactic fermentation was partially stopped to preserve freshness. A blend of wines which have undergone different types of vinification allowed us to obtain greater finesse and aromatic complexity. One third of the cuvee benefited from maceration in different wood-fired oak barrels which adds aromatic complexity and gives a sugar feel in the mouth.
“Vins de France” can be produced throughout the whole of France using grapes harvested exclusively within its borders. This quite new appellation (2009) allows for a greater liberty in winemaking compared to the appellation system. It is a great opportunity for our winemaker to express his skills with a wine with a steady style and unique personality.
