As a general winemaking philosophy, in our Cuvée Alexandre Chardonnay we look for elegance, balance, freshness and ageing potential. 100% of the grapes were hand harvested in small 14 kilos crates, then the whole grape bunch was directly pressed and the juice naturally decanted in stainless steel tanks at low temperature. The 2016 vintage, 56% of the juice was fermented in French oak barrels at 15-18°C and 44% was fermented in stainless steel tanks at 12-14°C.
Our Cuvée Alexandre Chardonnay was partially aged in French oak barrels, with a 56% for 11 months ( 46% in new oak and 10% in second and third use oak ). The result is a well-integrated oak with elegant structure to enhance the natural acidity and freshness. No malolactic fermentation was done.
