The Chardonnay Sélection Parcellaires Mont Calcaires from Maison Fortant shows a bright straw-yellow color. On the nose it offers a composed, restrained bouquet: notes of white-fleshed fruit, citrus peel and white flowers, accompanied by a subtle mineral hint that adds complexity without overpowering the aromatic profile. On the palate it is balanced, with pleasant freshness and a structure that supports the fruit; the drinking experience is smooth, with lively acidity and a clean, savory finish that invites the next sip.

It is well suited to slightly chilled service in wide glasses to enhance its aromas: recommended serving temperature around 10–12 °C. It pairs elegantly with vegetable starters, lightly structured fish dishes, shellfish and fresh cheeses; it is also appropriate for informal moments and light dinners. For those seeking a wine of measured character, this Chardonnay offers immediacy and clarity, without excess, adapting to a range of occasions.

Winery history
Origins trace to the Skalli family’s winemaking activity (early 20th century). In the 1980s Robert Skalli launched varietal wines and Fortant de France (a pioneer of Pays d’Oc varietal wines). In 2011 Fortant was acquired by the Boisset group; in 2016 the Maison Fortant designation consolidated the landscape/terroir-driven approach. (sources: Fortant site, Boisset).
Production philosophy
The philosophy is to showcase Languedoc terroirs via parcellaire selection and quality‑focused practices: seeking the best plots, careful vinification (vineyard to cellar), balancing freshness, elegance and territorial identity; commitment to local sustainability and cultural projects.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards in the Languedoc (Languedoc‑Roussillon), with plots from terroirs such as the Monts Calcaires — areas between the Garrigues and Cévennes up to about 600 m altitude, complex calcareous soils that promote acidity, minerality and aromatic complexity.
