Terroir: 
The vineyards are located in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, nestled between the Atlantic and Mediterranean influences. The high altitude and cooler climate provide ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay, allowing for slow and even ripening. The soils in this region are predominantly clay-limestone, which contributes to the wine’s balanced acidity and minerality.

Viticulture: 
The grapes for "Les Volets Chardonnay" are mostly hand-picked to ensure optimal quality. The cool climate of the Haute Vallée de l'Aude helps maintain the natural acidity and freshness of the grapes.

Winemaking: 
The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit character, with a portion undergoing fermentation in oak barrels to add complexity and texture. The wine is then aged for six months, with 75% in stainless steel and up to 25% in second or third-fill French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes: 
"Les Volets Chardonnay" displays aromas of crunchy yellow plum and brioche, with bright acidity and a hint of toasted hazelnut from the oak influence. The palate is succulent and balanced, with a subtle savory texture reminiscent of a Burgundian Chardonnay.
