Description

The Chardonnay "Mains et Coeur" DOC by Maison Anselmet is an ode to the craftsmanship and oenological passion that characterize this renowned winery in the Aosta Valley. "Mains et Coeur", which is French for "Hands and Heart", reflects Maison Anselmet's dedicated approach and commitment to creating wines that are a pure expression of Alpine terroir and love of viticulture.

Maison Anselmet is one of the leading wineries in the small but prestigious wine region of the Aosta Valley, known for its high quality wines that benefit from the unique climatic conditions and mineral soils of the Alps. The use of sustainable viticultural practices and a careful work in the vineyard is fundamental to Anselmet, ensuring that every bunch of grapes harvested is of the highest quality.

Chardonnay "Mains et Coeur" is produced with carefully selected grapes from vineyards located in optimal positions for the cultivation of this varietal. Attention to detail continues in the cellar, where modern winemaking techniques combine with traditional methods to preserve the integrity of the fruit and enhance the distinctive characteristics of Chardonnay.

The wine presents itself with a brilliant golden yellow color, testifying to its richness and intensity. On the nose, the Chardonnay "Mains et Coeur" unfolds a wide spectrum of aromas: from the classic notes of white pulp fruit, such as apple and pear, to nuances of citrus fruits and white flowers, enriched by a light mineral vein and delicate hints of vanilla and toasting, the result of aging in wood.

In the mouth, the wine expresses an extraordinary harmony between freshness and complexity. The well-balanced acidity supports the structure of the wine, while the fruity and mineral notes intertwine elegantly, leading to a long and persistent finish that leaves a sensation of cleanliness and refinement.

This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from seafood to risottos, poultry dishes to soft cheeses. Its versatility and depth make it suitable both for a special occasion and as a daily companion for a refined dinner.

In conclusion, the Chardonnay "Mains et Coeur" DOC by Maison Anselmet is a tribute to the wine excellence of the Aosta Valley, offering a tasting experience that harmoniously combines tradition and innovation.

Winery history

Documented evidence of the Anselmet family's presence in the vineyards dates back to the 16th century; the shift toward organized winemaking took place in the late 1970s with Renato Anselmet, from whom the modern estate took shape and developed over subsequent generations.

Production philosophy

The estate favors high-altitude, mountain viticulture, with hand-tended vineyards, minimal agronomic interventions and the selection of grape varieties based on the pedoclimatic characteristics of each individual plot. In the cellar it seeks to express the terroir through targeted maturation techniques and differentiated productions, including limited editions.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are concentrated in the so-called Central Valley of the Aosta Valley, on morainic soils exposed on the left-hand side of the Dora Baltea, with parcels ranging from approximately 550 to over 900 metres above sea level and across an area stretching from Avise to Chambave. Viticulture is often terraced and requires intensive manual labour.

Awards and recognitions

The winery has received national and international recognition over the years; among the awards listed online are mentions and medals in competitions such as the Decanter World Wine Awards.
