Louis Latour Ardèche Chardonnay – IGP Coteaux de l'Ardèche – White – 2023:

 

A shining example of Louis Latour’s expertise outside the Côte d’Or, the Ardèche Chardonnay delivers the elegance of a fine Mâconnais white, infused with the beautiful ripeness of the Southern Rhône valley.

Burgundian Finesse, Ardèche Terroir

Sourced from clay and limestone soils in the IGP Ardèche, this unoaked Chardonnay is entirely aged in stainless steel vats. This technique ensures a wine that is clean, bright, and focused on pure fruit flavour, making it a reliable and excellent value choice.

Tasting Notes (The Sommelier’s View)

• Colour: Brilliant straw-yellow with a pale gold hue.
• Nose: Subtly honeyed aromas, ripe pear, green apple, and a delicate floral lift.
• Palate: Fresh, rounded, and impeccably balanced. The lively acidity cuts through the stone fruit and white peach flavours, leading to a long, mineral-tinged, and satisfyingly clean finish.

Food & Service

Serve this sophisticated white lightly chilled (10-12°C) to enhance its crisp character.

• Food Match: Superb with classic Poulet à l’Estragon, a delicately roasted Sea Bass, or a fresh Goat’s Cheese Tart.
