More infoEn Flandre from Domaine de la Touraize is a single-vineyard cuvée made from Chardonnay. This northeast-facing, one hectare vineyard with its 14 year old vines is situated at an altitude of 310 metres on a terroir of clay-limestone. The winemaking process starts with a pneumatic whole cluster pressing and is followed by a static gravity débourbage. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in large barrels using the natural yeasts found on the grape skins. Ageing on fine lees, with regular topping up (ouillage), in 350 litre casks for 12 months results in the wine’s glistening golden appearance.
On the nose, it releases notes of peat and roasted sesame. On the palate, this wine is lively and taut with a certain acidity and shows itself to be well-rounded, fresh and fleshy. Smoky and roasted nuances dominate and are accompanied by baked white fruit. It has a persistent finish with notes of hazelnut and roasted sesame, accentuating the vivacity and freshness of the wine.
