Les Crêtes Valle d'Aosta Chardonnay Cuvee Bois DOC 2021

The grapes are sourced from high-lying fields in Aymavilles and Saint Christophe, where the old vines thrive in a loose, sandy moraine soil. Here the grapes achieve a perfect balance between the heat of the sun and the cool mountain breezes.

The wine presents itself with a brilliant color and an intense bouquet of exotic fruits, vanilla and a delicate note of browned butter. In the mouth it is full and warm, with mineral undertones and a fresh acidity that elegantly balances the wine's rich character.

This chardonnay is incredibly versatile and can accompany a wide variety of dishes, from flavorful pasta dishes and pies to pâtés, roasted meats and rich cheeses. Les Cretes Cuvée Bois is considered one of Italy's best Chardonnays and elegantly demonstrates the grape variety's potential when grown under optimal conditions.

The wine is grown according to organic principles, but without certification, and it delivers an experience that is both elegant and harmonious.

The grapes undergo a gentle pressing and are then fermented in French oak barrels, followed by 10 months of maturation on the lees with frequent stirring (bâtonnage), which gives it a rich and velvety texture. Finally, it is aged for another 12 months in bottle before release, which completes its refined expression.

A fantastic Chardonnay that makes you think of Burgundy. Very complex, balanced and elegant.

This wine has a long life ahead of it.

Should be drunk from large glasses.
