Description

While Chardonnay can sometimes be heavy, dense, and unexciting, L'Arjolle's Equilibre is certainly not! This wine offers a delightful combination of ripe notes, fresh elegance, and a lovely oaky touch.

The majority of the grapes (70%) ferment in stainless steel tanks and mature on the lees for several months. The remainder is fermented in small oak barrels, followed by six months of barrel aging.

The blend of both wines produces beautiful fruity notes, with the seductive influence of oak. A typical Southern French Chardonnay of excellent quality, finely crafted according to "agriculture raisonnée," a sustainable winemaking method. The vineyards, with vines of approximately thirty years old, are located in the village of Margon, near Pézenas and Béziers.

The three colours of Arjolle
The French are particularly proud of their tricolor flag and of the beautiful Languedoc region of southern France, home to delicious "tricolore wines." White, rosé, and red from Domaine de l'Arjolle are exemplary wines from this region.
