Vinification of the Blanc from La Chapelle Gordonne

The foundation of this unique white wine is carefully selected vines from the sun-kissed terroirs of Southern France. Grapes of varieties known for their aromatic complexity grow there, including Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, and Ugni Blanc. The vines thrive on calcareous soils and a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights. This interplay allows for a slow and holistic ripening of the grapes, resulting in intense aromas.

Harvesting is done by hand to select only the ripest and healthiest grapes. This ensures the highest quality right from the harvest and avoids the risk of oxidation before crushing.

During vinification, great care is taken to handle the grapes gently. After gentle pressing, fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. This preserves the fruity and floral aromas optimally and maintains freshness.

The maturation takes place solely in stainless steel tanks, which emphasizes the wine’s clear structures and natural character. This process highlights the fine mineral nuances and the vibrant acidity, giving the Blanc from La Chapelle Gordonne its unmistakable identity.
