This family winery, driven by Anselmet's passion and innovation, has been able to earn a prominent place in the Italian wine scene, thanks to the production of wines that intensely express the unique character of their Alpine terroir.

This Chardonnay, grown in the mountain vineyards that characterize the wine-growing landscape of the Aosta Valley, benefits from a particular microclimate and soils that give the wine a marked minerality and freshness. The skilful use of fûts de chêne (oak barrels) for aging enriches the wine with complexity, without overpowering the natural expressiveness of the grape variety.

The Magnum format, equivalent to two standard bottles, is not only ideal for ageing, allowing the wine to develop a wider range of nuances and complexity over time, but also represents a prestigious option for special occasions, with its presentation in a case which underlines its elegance and exclusivity.

Visually, the Chardonnay "Élevé en Fût de Chêne" presents itself with a brilliant golden yellow color, indicative of its richness and maturity. On the nose, the wine reveals an intense and inviting bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit such as peach and melon, enriched by nuances of vanilla, toasting and a light spiciness due to aging in oak. Mineral hints and an underlined freshness make the olfactory profile particularly complex and balanced.

In the mouth, Maison Anselmet's Chardonnay demonstrates extraordinary harmony, with a rich and enveloping structure balanced by a lively acidity. The fruity and woody notes intertwine in a complex palate, culminating in a long and persistent finish that leaves a feeling of elegance and satisfaction.

This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with rich, structured dishes, such as fish in creamy sauce, poultry dishes and mature cheeses. Its complexity and structure also make it suitable for convivial occasions where wine can be the protagonist of the table.

In conclusion, the Chardonnay DOC "Élevé en Fût de Chêne" Magnum by Maison Anselmet represents a meeting point between tradition and innovation, offering a tasting experience that celebrates the richness of the terroir of the Aosta Valley and the passion of one of its most prestigious wineries.
