Arbois Leon 2022 - Les Bottes Rouges

Arbois Leon - Les Bottes Rouges 

The Arbois Leon by Les Bottes Rouges is a splendid Chardonnay that moves wonderfully in the glass, opening up into a range of aromas upon contact with the air. Floral and buttery notes mix with hazelnut and green apple. In the mouth it is deep and complex. The vines are planted on clayey soils and the grapes are generally harvested at the end of September. Direct pressing in 3,000 liter foudre for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation before decanting into smaller 440 liter neutral oak barrels.

Service

We taste it at 12/14°C. Wine to be drunk immediately but left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairings

Excellent as an aperitif, paired with fish starters, main courses of fish, ideal pairing with fois gras tartare.
