Chardonnay Hands and Heart 2023 DOC Valle d'Aosta Anselmet

Chardonnay Mains et Coeur 2023 DOC Valle d'Aosta by Anselmet

The Chardonnay Mains et Coeur 2023 by Anselmet Vini is a Valle d'Aosta white wine with a strong personality, designed to express Chardonnay in an elegant, rich, and territorial key. The winery pays close attention to the great whites of Burgundy but interprets the grape through the identity of the Valle d'Aosta, creating a wine with a contemporary, intense, and refined profile.

Territory and wine style

This DOC Valle d'Aosta is born in Saint-Pierre, at an altitude of 880 meters, in a mountainous context that gives freshness and precision to the sip. The vineyard is south-facing and located on sandy soil with white marls, elements that help define a clear and mineral style. The Chardonnay here is interpreted with an ambitious oenological vision: the unclarified must rests for 18 months in French barriques, a choice that suggests structure, complexity, and a deeper taste profile compared to an immediate and linear white.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the wine presents a profile consistent with an evolved and well-constructed mountain Chardonnay. On the nose, it can offer sensations of yellow-fleshed fruit, ripe citrus, light floral nuances, and hints of toasting and vanilla, accompanied by a savory and mineral component. On the palate, the sip is full, enveloping, and structured, supported by good freshness that balances the alcohol and any softness from the wood aging. The finish is long, harmonious, and persistent, with an elegant closure that recalls the character of the territory.

Recommended pairings

The Chardonnay Mains et Coeur 2023 pairs well with more structured seafood dishes, such as shellfish, baked fish, or preparations with delicate sauces. It is also suitable for rich first courses, mushroom risottos, white meats, noble poultry, and semi-aged cheeses. Its complexity makes it interesting even with dishes from Valle d'Aosta cuisine and recipes with balanced creaminess.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate the Chardonnay Mains et Coeur 2023, a serving temperature between 10 and 12°C is recommended. If opened young, it can benefit from a few minutes in the glass to best express its aromas and structure, without the need for long aeration.
