Domaine Girard - Chardonnay Las Salvios | AOP Limoux
White wine | France, LANGUEDOC | 2022
Born from a Chardonnay planted on a plateau in the upper Aude valley, at an altitude of 450 m, aged for ten months in barrels, this wine delivers a complex bouquet of honeysuckle, white peach, honey and vanilla. On the palate, it is suave, round, almost mellow, balanced by a freshness with saline and menthol tones.

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.
