Chardonnay DOC - Maison Anselmet 2025

Maison Anselmet's Chardonnay DOC is a wine that enhances the uniqueness of the terroir of the Aosta Valley, a mountainous region located in the north-west of Italy, known for its very high quality wines produced in limited quantities. This winery, one of the most renowned in the region, is guided by a philosophy that places the most authentic expression of the grape variety and territory at its centre, through sustainable viticultural practices and a careful winemaking process.

Maison Anselmet's Chardonnay is the result of a careful selection of grapes, grown in vineyards located in privileged positions, where the particular microclimate and the poor, rocky soils give the wine a marked minerality and distinctive freshness. The winery adopts winemaking techniques that aim to preserve the varietal characteristics of the Chardonnay grape, emphasizing the purity of the fruit and aromatic elegance.

This Chardonnay has a straw yellow color, bright and inviting. On the nose, it offers a complex and multifaceted bouquet, where notes of white pulp fruit, such as apple and pear, are recognized, enriched by floral nuances and a delicate touch of minerality that reflects the terroir of origin. Moderate use of wood can add layers of complexity, with light vanilla and toasted notes integrating harmoniously without overpowering the wine's flavor profile.

In the mouth, Maison Anselmet's Chardonnay stands out for its extraordinary balance between lively acidity and body. The palate is clean and refreshing, with a creamy texture that envelops the mouth, leading to a long and persistent finish, characterized by a pleasant minerality and a light citrus note that invites another sip.

This wine pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, from seafood cuisine to more structured dishes based on poultry or white meat, as well as can be enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with fresh and delicate cheeses.

In summary, Maison Anselmet's Chardonnay DOC represents a high-quality expression of the grape variety, which reflects the winery's commitment to producing wines that are at the same time an expression of the territory and refined interpretations of the Chardonnay grape variety. It is a wine that speaks of Maison Anselmet's passion for the excellence and winemaking tradition of the Aosta Valley.
