Le Haut de la butte 2022 - IGP Île de France - Vin Blanc

Le Haut de la Butte 2022 – IGP Île-de-France – White Wine

1. Grapes

This cuvée is made from 100% Chardonnay, a varietal that thrives in the cool, temperate climate of the Île-de-France region. The grapes are organically farmed and hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and quality.

2. Terroir and Soils

The vines are planted on gentle slopes in the Seine-et-Marne area, benefiting from excellent exposure and drainage. The soils are composed primarily of limestone and clay, contributing both freshness and minerality to the wine. This unique terroir gives the Chardonnay a bright, elegant profile with fine tension.

3. Winemaking

Vinified with a minimalist approach to highlight the natural expression of the fruit and terroir. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged on fine lees for several months to enhance texture and aromatic complexity, without the use of oak. Bottled unfiltered, with minimal sulfur added.

4. Tasting Notes

Pale gold in color with silver highlights. The nose opens with delicate aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and green apple, followed by subtle notes of hazelnut and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is fresh and precise, with a lively acidity, silky texture, and a lingering, mineral-driven finish.

5. Wine Pairing

Perfect as an aperitif or alongside fresh seafood such as oysters, scallops, and grilled fish. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese, vegetable tarts, and poultry dishes in cream-based sauces.
