Discover this elegant 100% Chardonnay “Bro-jolais” produced from sandy, stony loam soils in the Les Bois locality of Beaujolais, France.

Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes:  Beaujolais Blanc Domaine Fellot has a fine balance between freshness and minerality. At first a golden color. Then a citrus nose with floral notes. Overall the mouth is fresh and very round and generous.

Food Pairing Suggestion: A fantastic companion during the aperitif. It will pair perfectly well with fish and poultry as well.

Try it with a great selection of goat cheese from Loire Valley and some honey with truffles. It will be a delight ! Bon Appétit.

Viognier Au pays de Lea Domaine Perroud organic wine 2024

Domaine Perroud Au Pays de Léa Viognier expresses the character of organically farmed vineyards planted on granite soils in Beaujolais, France. Made from 100% Viognier, this white wine combines generous fruit, refreshing acidity, and a balanced structure.

The domaine hand-harvests the grapes to protect their freshness and ensure careful selection in the vineyard. Once the grapes reach the winery, the team presses them immediately. This gentle approach helps preserve the wine’s natural aromas and vibrant fruit character.

After pressing, the wine matures on fine lees for 12 months. As a result, it develops a fuller texture, greater depth, and a smooth, rounded palate. The winemakers clarify the wine with diatomaceous earth, which supports a clean and precise final expression.
