Description

While Chardonnay can sometimes be heavy, rich, and unexciting, L'Arjolle's Equilibre certainly isn't! This wine features the delightful combination of ripe notes, fresh elegance, and a lovely touch of oak.

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

The blend of both wines yields beautiful fruit notes, with the seductive influence of oak. A typical Southern French Chardonnay of excellent quality, crafted with finesse according to 'agriculture raisonnée', a sustainable method of viticulture. The vineyards, with approximately thirty-year-old vines, are located in the village of Margon, near Pézenas and Béziers.

The three colors of Arjolle
The French are particularly proud of their tricolor flag and of the beautiful Southern French Languedoc, where delicious 'tricolore wines' originate. White, rosé, and red from Domaine de l'Arjolle are exemplary wines for this region.
