Saint-Peyre Chardonnay 2025, Les Costières de Pomérols

Saint-Peyre Chardonnay 2025 | Les Costières de Pomérols

IGP Côtes de Thau

While our hearts belong unconditionally to Burgundy, we gladly make an exception for the sunny south when we encounter a wine that excels in purity and craftsmanship. The Saint-Peyre Chardonnay 2025 is precisely that kind of discovery. Hailing from Les Costières de Pomérols, right by the shimmering waters of the Étang de Thau, this wine proves that the Chardonnay grape is capable of sublime, expressive performances in the Languedoc as well. A beautiful, sun-drenched wine with an unmistakable Mediterranean elegance.

Aroma & Palate

In the glass, the wine displays a brilliant, bright yellow color with an enticing golden shimmer. The nose is rich and layered: ripe aromas of white-fleshed fruits and subtle white flowers are beautifully embraced by a touch of blond tobacco and a refined hint of sweet vanilla.

On the palate, this Chardonnay surprises with its contrast. The entry is supple and highly pleasing, after which the wine opens up with great volume, richness, and a luscious texture. Thanks to aging on the fine lees (sur lie), the wine has gained wonderful depth. The finish is grand and complex, with a subtle toasted note and a velvety sensation of vanilla that lingers beautifully.

Terroir & Vinification

The vineyards of Domaine Saint Peyre are situated on limestone-rich soils right on the Mediterranean coast. This unique microclimate is the secret behind the wine's balance: the baking South-French sun ensures optimal ripeness and volume, while the cool sea breeze preserves the essential freshness and vibrant acidity in the grapes. To protect this pure fruit expression and aromatic intensity, the grapes are harvested in the early, cool morning hours. Following a temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is given ample time to develop extra texture, without heavy oak aging taking over.

Wine & Food Pairing

This rich and voluminous Chardonnay is excellent for gastronomy. It is a fantastic companion for:

• Fish & Seafood: Rich fish dishes, such as pan-seared cod, salmon, or turbot, preferably served with a creamy butter sauce.
• Meat: White meat (poultry or veal) in creamy sauces with wild mushrooms.
• Cheese: An excellent partner for a diverse cheese board, ranging from mild abbey cheeses to creamy white-mould cheeses.
