The Chardonnay from Domaine Saint Antoine grows on the sunlit slopes of Pays d’Oc, benefiting from an optimal southeast exposure and a rich, well-draining clay-limestone soil. Under the influence of the Mediterranean climate, this noble grape variety thrives, expressing all its roundness and elegance.
The privileged sunshine of more than 300 days a year allows the Chardonnay to reach harmonious ripeness, while the moderate altitude preserves the natural acidity and delicate fruit aromas.
Winemaking
Mechanical harvesting is carried out at optimal ripeness. Traditional low-temperature vinification allows for a gentle extraction of floral and fruity aromas. Pneumatic pressing is followed by a rest in stainless steel tanks. Partial ageing in oak barrels develops complexity and roundness on the palate without overpowering the fresh fruit profile.
