Domaine de la Baume, Elite d'Or Chardonnay Roussanne 2024 White

Domaine de la Baume’s Elite d’Or Chardonnay Roussanne 2024 is a richly styled white wine that brings together the depth of old-vine Chardonnay with the aromatic lift of Roussanne. Aged for 12 months in oak, it offers impressive complexity and a polished, premium feel, making it an excellent choice for both aperitif and food-friendly occasions. Rooted in a domaine with a long history in Languedoc, it reflects the character and ambition of Pays d’Oc winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this white shows a generous, elegant profile with a luminous golden hue hinting at its oak maturation and ripe fruit concentration. The nose is intense and layered, combining notes of stone fruit, citrus peel, and subtle floral tones with vanilla, toast, and a gentle creamy richness from the barrel aging. On the palate, it is full-flavored and complex, with a ripe, rounded texture balanced by freshness. The Chardonnay provides structure and depth, while the Roussanne adds aromatic finesse and a slightly exotic edge. Its oak influence is integrated rather than dominant, supporting a long, rich finish. This is a wine with enough substance to age gracefully for a few more years, developing even more nuance over time.

Production
Elite d’Or is made from the oldest Chardonnay vines on the estate, blended with Roussanne to add aromatic complexity and texture. The grapes come from Domaine de la Baume in Pays d’Oc, where the terroir benefits from the warm southern French climate and the influence of the Languedoc landscape. After harvesting, the wine is vinified with care and matured for 12 months in oak barrels, giving it depth, structure, and a refined spicy character.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile and gastronomic white wine that works beautifully as an aperitif, but it truly shines at the table. Serve it lightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, with fish such as sea bass, sole, or tuna, as well as veal and chicken dishes with a creamy or lightly sauced preparation. Decanting is not necessary, but allowing the wine a short period in the glass can help раскрыve its aromatic layers.

Producer
Domaine de la Baume has a notable place in southern French wine history. In 1882, Jean Prat took over the estate in the south of France, restoring vineyards that had been left fallow after phylloxera with the help of his sons. He went on to export the wines abroad and even opened a wine shop in Paris. Today, the domaine stands as an established and respected producer in the heart of Languedoc, between Béziers and Pézenas, known for combining history, terroir, and modern quality.
