Whispering smiles, 2024
Chardonnay from the around 30 years old vines of Domaine du Mazel. As we do most often, the grapes have been pressed vertical over a couple of days, from therefore we left the juice to start its fermentation in a fiberglass cuve. After one week the fermentation had started well, and we moved the now fermenting juice to 500lt demi-muids. Here the wine finished its fermentation and stayed until May 2026, so close to two years. In May we bottled the Chardonnay, now with an interesting balance between the well-known and relatively serious minerality and delicate oxidation we achieve by not topping up the barrels, and the rich southern fruit and often quite lively acidity. This Chardonnay is a white wine, but due to a later and very ripe harvest, the long slow pressurage and the élevage in demi-muids and on lees that previously have held red wines, the wine has a deep golden color – We love it!
