Les Jamelles Chardonnay-Viognier

Introduction: Les Jamelles Chardonnay-Viognier is a captivating blend that harmoniously marries the elegance of Chardonnay with the aromatic finesse of Viognier. Crafted under the meticulous care of Catherine Delaunay, this Sélection Spéciale offers a golden elixir with green highlights, embodying the best of both grape varieties. The Chardonnay vines, gracing the Upper Aude Valley near Limoux, contribute freshness and minerality, while Viognier grapes from the Minervois region infuse fruity aromas and flavors, including pear, apricot, and peach. The result is a wine that captivates with buttery, praline notes and a delightful hint of candied lemon and orange peel, delivering a rounded palate sensation with impressive length.

Food Pairing: Indulge in the culinary delights that complement Les Jamelles Chardonnay-Viognier Sélection Spéciale. This wine is an exceptional companion for white meats, fish, or shellfish in cream sauce, providing a perfect balance to the richness of the dishes. Try it with asparagus mousse, coddled eggs accompanied by white truffles, or foie gras paired with fig chutney. For a sweet symphony, savor it alongside praline, frangipane, or white chocolate cake, or indulge in the fruity allure with an apricot tart. Catherine Delaunay recommends exploring delightful pairings such as smoked salmon with dill foam or scampi cannelloni infused with piment d’Espelette-spiced cream.
