As you take a sip, you’ll be treated to a delightful blend of lemon and vanilla flavours. The wine has a rounded and fruity body with a subtle hint of vanilla oak character. It’s riper than a Macon and has more savoury complexity than New World Chardonnays, making it the perfect tipple to enjoy by the glass. And let’s not forget its food-friendliness! Les Mougeottes Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with chicken, turkey, cream sauces, and lightly spiced dishes. It’s a versatile companion for your culinary adventures.
This IGP Pays d’Oc wine has earned itself a couple of awards, so you know it’s top-notch. The Chardonnay-du-Monde gave the 2015 vintage a shiny Silver, and the International Wine Challenge awarded it a Bronze. Cheers to that!
Les Mougeottes Chardonnay is made in the sunny climes of the South of France, using grapes from vineyards located to the East of Carcassonne. The winery sources the grapes from various growers and works its magic with the help of LGI, one of the largest and most reliable cooperatives in the region. To add a touch of oak goodness, they hang oak staves in steel tanks, allowing the wine to gently absorb those lovely oak flavours before bottling.
With an alcohol content of 13.5%, Les Mougeottes Chardonnay strikes a perfect balance and comes in a 75cl bottle, so you’ll have plenty to enjoy. Whether you’re sharing it with friends or savouring it on your own, this down-to-earth and easy-drinking wine is here to elevate your wine game. Don’t miss out on the chance to add this gem to your collection. It’s a friendly and approachable Chardonnay that captures the essence of white Burgundy and will surely impress your taste buds.
- Food pairing suggestion: we think this works particularly well with sauced white fish dishes like monkfish stew or simply with a good roast chicken.
Alisa –
This is a great wine. I keep coming back to buy more, it tastes like a £20 wine to me, so can’t get enough of it.
