Vinification of Domaine Guenault Chardonnay IGP by Bougrier

The foundation for the elegant wine is the careful cultivation of Chardonnay grapes in optimal locations. These are situated in a region with an ideal climate characterized by warm days and cool nights. This combination promotes the slow ripening of the grapes, preserves their freshness, and produces complex aromas. The soil mainly consists of calcareous clay and loam, rich in minerals, which significantly contributes to the depth of the wine.

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand to ensure the highest degree of care and quality. After careful selection, gentle pressing follows, which keeps the juice clear and pure. The subsequent fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruity and fresh impressions.

The aging of the wine partially takes place in traditional French oak barrels. This gives the Domaine Guenault Chardonnay IGP by Bougrier its smooth texture and harmonious vanilla notes. The maturation lasts several months, during which the aromas unfold optimally and the wine gains complexity. The winemaker places great emphasis on balance between freshness and depth, which lends this drop its unmistakable elegance.
