Grown on clay-limestone soils at 300–400 metres above sea level, the highest plateau of the Limoux appellation, it benefits from a cool climate that allows the grapes to develop both richness and remarkable freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand-harvested and pressed immediately on arrival at the winery, the wine is fermented in 300-litre French oak barrels and aged for nine months, with regular bâtonnage. Bright lemon-yellow with golden highlights, it opens with an intricate bouquet of citrus, white-fleshed fruit and gentle spices, with a subtle buttery note. The palate is rich, dense and beautifully textured, revealing ripe white fruit and a refined toasted-bread character, with the oak adding complexity rather than dominating the wine. Powerful yet elegant, with impressive depth and balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated in collaboration with Andreas Larsson, Best Sommelier in the World ASI 2007 and ambassador for Bugalys, this is a serious, gastronomic Chardonnay with plenty of personality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrape:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Full-bodied, rich and complex dry white\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABV:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 14%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e AOP Limoux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Clay-limestone soils at 300–400m altitude\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 9 months in 300L French oak barrels, with regular bâtonnage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eServing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 10–12°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrink:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Now–2027\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood pairing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Superb with roasted turbot with almond sauce, pan-seared scallops with brown butter and saffron, or Périgord black-truffle risotto.
