Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a bright pale gold color with a crystalline sheen. The nose is layered and lifted, offering citrus blossom, white peach, lemon zest, crushed stone, hazelnut, and subtle lees complexity. On the palate, it is focused and elegant, with a fine balance of ripe orchard fruit, saline minerality, and refreshing acidity. La Chatenière often delivers impressive length and precision, with a textured mid-palate and a dry, chalky finish. The 2018 vintage has the concentration to age gracefully for several years, likely gaining additional complexity over time.

Production

The grapes are generally harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, with careful sorting to retain only the best fruit.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, pan-seared sole, lobster, scallops, or creamy poultry dishes, as well as aged goat cheese.

Decanting is usually not essential, though a brief aeration can help if the wine is opened young.
