Astruc Chardonnay Classique 2023 is a refined white wine from the sunny south of France. The wine combines the freshness of the Languedoc with the full, round qualities of Chardonnay, resulting in excellent balance and an approachable style. The wine has a bright, pale yellow colour with golden reflections. The nose reveals aromas of ripe tropical fruit such as pineapple and peach, combined with fresh notes of lemon and green apple. A subtle hint of vanilla and butter is present, thanks to light oak ageing. On the palate this Chardonnay is soft and balanced, with fresh acidity that brings vibrancy. Flavours of ripe fruit, citrus and a light touch of roasted almond blend harmoniously. The wine has a smooth and elegant finish, with a light creaminess and a subtle minerality.
Perfect with grilled chicken, creamy pasta dishes, shellfish and crustaceans or soft cheeses such as Brie.
Domaine Astruc was founded in 1862 and lies in the heart of Languedoc-Roussillon, a region known for its excellent wines offering great value for money. The domaine combines traditional winegrowing techniques with modern innovations, resulting in wines that are both full of character and approachable. The Chardonnay Classique is made from carefully selected grapes that benefit from the Mediterranean climate, with sunny days and cool nights. Part of the wine is aged in oak barrels, giving it subtle complexity and a pleasant roundness.
