Staff recommendation! One of the cleanest tasting chards out there!
La Colline Aux Fossiles, or Hill of Fossils, is a balanced and vibrant Chardonnay (100%) grown on the gentle slopes of the Tet River valley in the Roussillon. Walking through these vines you can find ancient fossils among the gravel washed down from the nearby mountains. The terroirs and microclimates of the Roussillon make it a veritable playground for experimentation and discovery – even with something as common seeming as Chardonnay.
Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage (Maker of the Lafage Bastide Wines) has partnered together to make Chardonnay that grows more inland from the Tet river valley on deep red clay soils. The name Colline aux Fossiles may seem fanciful, but there are actually old, weathered fossils mixed in this site’s gravelly soils.
WINE NOTES:
Golden colored and aromas of white peach, ripe apple, caramelized citrus, honeysuckle, and mineral. the wine is a bit rounder than the 2020 but the acidity cuts through it and makes a phenomenal Chardonnay for the price. Absolutely, one of the best values we offer.
