Territory and wine style

This Chardonnay DOC Valle d'Aosta originates in the municipality of Quart, from vineyards trained in Guyot on sandy-loam and loamy-sandy soils, shallow and rich in skeleton, on steep slopes with a southern exposure. These conditions favor harmonious ripening and a clear mineral imprint. The Grosjean winery works with techniques consistent with organic farming and with a viticulture attentive to the vineyard. The wine's style focuses on complexity, balance, and precision, also thanks to aging in barriques and subsequent resting in the bottle.

Tasting notes

The aromatic profile is broad and intense, with a varietal and floral bouquet enriched by sensations of vanilla, butter, and spices, along with dairy nuances that highlight its evolution and complexity. On the palate, the wine is fresh and balanced, with good substance, pronounced minerality, and a noble tannic component, unusual but well integrated for a structured white. The sip is harmonious, persistent, and capable of combining softness and gustatory tension.
