Caves du Château d'AuvernierChardonnay, sélection sous-bois 2023

About this wine

This Chardonnay from the Caves du Château d'Auvernier shows what happens when Swiss winemakers let their fruit express itself freely. The 2023 vintage from Neuchâtel brings together the elegance of the appellation with the richness that Chardonnay does so well.

You'll find fresh citrus notes dancing with hints of white flowers and a touch of minerality that comes straight from the lakeside terroir. The palate is balanced and crisp, with a beautiful texture that makes each sip memorable. At 13% alcohol, it's got just enough body without being heavy.

Serve this beauty at around 10-12°C with fish from Lake Neuchâtel, grilled chicken, or a creamy risotto. It's also fantastic with Swiss Gruyère that's not too aged, where the wine's freshness cuts through the cheese's richness perfectly.
