l'Orpailleur Chardonnay

In the spotlight with oily or smoked fish, seafood, poultry, pork, sweetbreads, cream sauces, soft, semi-firm and bloomy rind cheeses.

“Complex and very fine nose at the same time. Fresh butter, tangerine, lemon zest. Very round attack, enveloping texture, roundness, well-balanced wood, very long finish. Magnificent wine. »
- World Wine Selections Canada 2022 - Jury Tasting Notes

"Aromas of poached pear immediately set the tone for a very ripe Chardonnay, nourished by the heat of summer 2020. Vinification and aging for 12 months in oak barrels add to the structure of the wine and its mid-palate volume. Already tasty, it will be even better after an hour in a carafe or two to three years of rest in the cellar. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
- Nadia Fournier - The 2023 Wine Guide

“It's a wine that delivers on its promise of pleasure and indulgence! It reveals inviting aromas of pear, dried fruit, white flowers, honey, butter and vanilla. Pleasant roundness, velvety texture and sustained finish. Cheer! »
