ARSAC LA PETITE CHAUMETTE VIOGNIER-CHARDONNAY 750ML

A short period of skin contact brings out the fruit in this Chardonnay made without the influence of oak barrels. Native yeast fermentation and 6 months on the lees in concrete tank adds complexity and density without diminishing the wine’s inherent minerality. Hailing from the northern sector of the Southern Rhone, on the right bank of the river, the wines of Domaine Arsac have the intensity and density that we appreciate from the Rhone, without being at all ponderous. Sebastien and Dimitri farm their 14 hectare estate organically, while practicing biodynamic viticulture with the goal of becoming certified in 2 years.
