Ferrandiere Chardonnay 2022

This winery has an interesting disposition, it’s planted on an old salt water marsh on the hillside of Saint Frichoux. Deep beneath the clay soils lies a bed of salt, the are able to remove the salinity by flooding the vineyards in the winter, crazy… The average age of the vines are between 30-50 years, farmed sustainably and no oak… We are often asked for and taste a ton of ‘value’ Chardonnay, most of it just ‘meh’ and not really worth our time, but this one pleasantly surprised us.. Completely un-oaked, brimming with pear and orchard fruits, this is just classic honest Chardonnay that matches with any white meat or seafood dish, or relaxing on the boat.
