The Vintage 2023 : After a mild winter, beginning of spring was marked by unstable weather conditions, which fortunately enough settled down end May with warm and even very warm temperatures. This situation encouraged a rapid blossoming in excellent conditions. Spring ended with a water deficit which was never compensated. July and August were marked by a succession of very warm temperatures and storms. End of August, a very hot weather settled down with temperatures around 35°C which enabled the grapes to perfect their ripeness. At Chanson, the harvest started on September 5 and ended on September 16. The white wines are very expressive with beautiful aromas of pale fleshed fruit and an outstanding structure.
Tasting : Pale gold color. Refreshing aromas of citrus fruit. Lively and energetic. Well crafted with a well-integrated acidity. Refreshing afertaste.
Food pairing : It is perfectly matched with charcuterie, grilled fish and some cheeses (especially goat cheeses)
