Aubert & Mathieu Hautes Pistes Limoux Chardonnay 2023
The Aubert & Mathieu Hautes Pistes Limoux Chardonnay is grown in la Haute Vallée de l'Aude where it benefits from the ideal climate and soils provided by the Pyrenees foothills. At the winery the grapes are pneumatically pressed then fermented in stainless steel before been transferred to one year old oak barrels for full malolactic fermentation and six months maturation. The wine was then bottled unfined and only lightly filtered. This is a lovely example of Limoux Chardonnay that shows some buttery notes, apricot and citrus aromas to the nose. The palate is soft with creamy flavours of almond and apricots, a hint of oak and lovely zingy acidity. This wine is the perfect pairing for sushi, cod or fresh cheese, offering a taste experience that is as rich as it is balanced.
