Domaine Girard - Classique | IGP Pays d'Oc Chardonnay
White wine | France, STREEKWIJN/IGP | 2023
Very lively on the nose with aromas of green apple and citrus. In the mouth a nice concentration of fruit and some minerality. A chardonnay in its pure form without wood aging, with beautiful freshness and complexity. A well-balanced wine of decent length.

Direct pressing with selection of the most qualitative juices. The clear
juices are then vinified in vats at temperatures of 18-20°, and will then
be stabilized by the cold. The duration of the maturation in stainless
steel vats lasts only a few months in order to preserve all the
freshness and the aromatic expression of the grape variety.

About Dom. Girard
The domain is located in the picturesque village of Alaigne, west of Carcassonne at the foot of the Pyrenees. Wine has been made in this family domain for four generations. In 2000, Philippe and Jean-François Girard took over the domain from their parents. They expanded the vineyards to a total area of 30 hectares. These are located on the Malepère massif, influenced by both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, making for an exceptional terroir. They work very durable and towards zero pesticides.
