Abbotts & DelaunayChardonnay Les Fruits Sauvages 2024

About this wine

This Chardonnay from the sunny Languedoc region is a brilliant choice when you're craving something fresh and vibrant without breaking the bank. Abbotts & Delaunay crafted this 2024 vintage to showcase the pure, expressive side of Chardonnay in a Mediterranean climate.

On the nose, you'll find bright notes of white peach, citrus zest, and a hint of wild herbs that reflect its southern French origins. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a nice balance between ripe fruit flavors and a clean, mineral finish. It's unoaked, so the focus stays on the fruit and the terroir, making it wonderfully easy to drink.

Serve this slightly chilled around 10-12°C and pair it with grilled fish, a creamy risotto, or even a simple roasted chicken with lemon. It's also fantastic with fresh goat cheese or a plate of oysters if you're feeling fancy. This is the kind of wine that works beautifully for a casual lunch or an aperitif on the terrace.
