Sylvain Morey Echo Chardonnay Vaucluse IGP

2024 Vintage, White wine from the Rhône Valley. Appellation IGP Vaucluse. 100% Chardonnay. ECOCERT-certified organic viticulture Manual harvest Natural vinification Long maturation in demi-muids. La Rougetière is not the most photogenic of the Domaine’s plots. Located at the entrance to the village of Cabrières, its main asset is a predominantly clay soil at an altitude of almost 400 m. This ensures that the Chardonnays ripen slowly, perfectly complementing the earlier, more powerful wines from Pertuis. The combination of two very different plots, giving Chardonnay opposite personalities: opulent, fat and rich in Pertuis; lively, lemony and fresh at altitude in Cabrières. The blending of the resulting wines gives an image of the grape variety a world away from some of its southern counterparts, emphasizing overall balance rather than intensity and power.
