Origine
Domaine Chofflet-Valdenaire is located in Russilly, a hamlet within the commune of Givry. Laid out in a natural amphitheatre facing the rising sun, this parcel occupies a balcony seat in the Côte Chalonnaise vineyards, a prime spot offering a clear view of Mont Blanc.
Vinification
The grapes undergo a long, gentle pressing to obtain as clear a juice as possible. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in vats and 5% new barrels and lasts 15-20 days. The wines age on their lees until the completion of malo-lactic fermentation. They are blended in the summer following the harvest and undergo a light filtration before being bottled in August.
Notes de dégustation
Fine and elegant, it develops light white flower aromas on the nose. The wine is fine and delicate, and refreshingly crisp and lively, on the palate.
Mets d'accompagnements
This delicate wine makes a lovely aperitif and pairs well with a carpaccio of sea scallops, or steamed fish. It can keep for 3-4 years, but is best enjoyed young.
