Chardonnay Cuvée Bois DOP Les Crêtes: mixed case of vintages 2014, 2016, and 2019

The Case of 6 Chardonnay Cuvée Bois DOP from Les Crêtes brings together three different vintages of one of the most representative whites of the Aosta Valley winery. The lot includes 2 bottles from 2014, 2 bottles from 2016, and 2 bottles from 2019, offering the opportunity to discover the evolution of an Chardonnay that is intense, elegant, and complex, an expression of a mountainous territory suited to great Italian white wines.

Territory and wine style

The wine is born between Frissonnière di Saint Christophe and Aymavilles, in the Aosta Valley, in a pedoclimatic context particularly favorable to freshness and aromatic definition. The vineyards are located on morainic, loose, and sandy soils, on slopes at altitudes ranging from 550 to 750 meters above sea level. This environment, combined with the manual harvest at the end of September, contributes to the creation of a white wine with personality, capable of uniting fruit maturity, taste tension, and a pleasant savory imprint. The polyclonal selection of Burgundy and the work in the cellar reflect a refined style, designed to enhance structure, balance, and depth.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it appears bright, with a golden yellow color. The nose is exuberant and intense, with a profile that harmoniously combines fruity notes and spicy nuances. On the palate, the wine is elegant, persistent, and of considerable complexity, with a savory and smooth taste texture. The aging sur lies and continuous bâtonnage contribute to making it fuller and more enveloping, without sacrificing the precision typical of mountain Chardonnay. The result is a rich, yet well-balanced white, suitable for bottle aging.

Recommended pairings

The Chardonnay Cuvée Bois Les Crêtes naturally accompanies structured appetizers, fish soups, pasta with delicate yet flavorful sauces, fondues, and soufflés. It also pairs very well with vegetable and herb frittatas, baked fish, white meats, and richer preparations like foie gras. It is also interesting with medium-aged cheeses, where softness and savoriness find a convincing gastronomic balance.

Serving temperature

Serve the Chardonnay Cuvée Bois Les Crêtes at a temperature between 10 and 12 °C. The more mature vintages can benefit from a few minutes of oxygenation in the glass, to best enhance the aromatic complexity and depth of the sip.
