About

Welcome to an independent exploration of the world of wine. Here, we uncover the fascinating journey of grapes from vine to glass, discover the dedicated winemakers and their origins, and delve into the unique flavors that make each bottle an experience. I'm not a sommelier, nor do I have any affiliations with wine importers or stores. I'm simply a wine enthusiast who enjoys documenting my tasting adventures and insights, all while maintaining the utmost impartiality.

Les Gaudrettes is a 100% Chardonnay cuvée from vines farmed biodynamically and planted on a marl terroir. The grapes are picked by hand, and the vinification is respectful of the grapes: direct pressing, fermentation and ageing in barrels for three to four years, depending on the bottling. The wine is neither filtered nor fined, with zero added sulphur.

Nothing new here. It's delicious, charming and approachable. Yet not overly complex. Salted almonds, butter, fruit trees blossoms, apples and lemon. Salty mouthfeel with good balance and structure. The aftertaste is long and flavourful.

Delicious and approachable. A charming bouquet of salted almonds, butter, fruit trees blossoms, apples and lemon. Salty and a bit fizzy mouthfeel with good balance, structure and a persistent aftertaste.
