Equinoxe Chardonnay
The Equinoxe series represents the new L'Arjolle style, pioneered by winemaker François Teisserenc. For this rich Chardonnay, he allows the grapes to ripen longer, resulting in a fuller, rounder wine. (Hence the name; the grapes are harvested around the autumnal equinox.) Nevertheless, François manages to retain the freshness and refinement. A remarkable achievement!
François uses only the first and best portion of the very soft pressing and ferments two-thirds of the juice in oak barrels, giving the woody influence a distinct presence. After bâtonnage, the wine matures for ten months on its lees in the same barrels. The remaining portion ferments and matures in tanks.
The result is a beautiful, dry Chardonnay with notes of toast, ripe apple, mango, and a touch of oak. Its seductive, luxurious, and mild flavor makes it ideal for enjoying on its own or pairing with delicious dishes such as scallops Saint-Jacques, plaice, or poultry.
Thongue Equilibre
The Chardonnay Equinoxe represents the new Arjolle style, pioneered by winemaker François Teisserenc. He allows the grapes to ripen longer, resulting in a fuller and rounder wine. Yet, he manages to retain freshness and refinement. A remarkable achievement!
This rich Chardonnay is made from the first and best part of a very gentle pressing and fermented in oak barrels, giving the woody influence a distinct presence. After two months of bâtonnage, the wine matures for a total of ten months on the lees in the same barrels.
The result is a beautiful, dry Chardonnay with notes of toast, ripe apple, mango, and a touch of oak. Its seductive, luxurious, and mild flavor makes it ideal for enjoying on its own or pairing with fine dishes like scallops Saint Jacques, turbot, or poultry. Richer than a white Burgundy, but not as heavy as many New World Chardonnays.
