Description
What kind of wine it is
Adn de Foudre Chardonnay by Christophe Mignon is a Blanc de Blancs with zero dosage, an essential expression of Chardonnay. Produced using the Traditional Method, this wine reveals a clean and delicate aromatic profile, marked by subtle woody notes. On the palate, the absence of added sugars combines with a rounded, buttery texture, with clear hints of toasted almonds. Its crisp taste makes it ideal for pairing with seafood starters and shellfish, perfectly balancing lean and fatty fish or medium-aged cheeses.
Where it comes from
The wine originates in Champagne, from the regions of Festigny and Le Breuil, highly renowned French areas. The vineyards benefit from optimal south and south-west exposure, a climatic factor that ensures regular ripening of the grapes. This geographical location allows for an ideal balance between freshness and tactile softness. The geological identity translates into a linear and defined expression, giving the glass that essential and transparent profile which reflects the unique character of its place of origin.
How it is produced
Production begins with manual harvesting of the Chardonnay to preserve the integrity of the fruit. The sparkling process follows the Traditional Method, incorporating agricultural practices based on biodynamic principles. The wine rests on the lees through a four-year maturation, developing a complex structural consistency. The use of barrels during production imparts characteristic woody nuances, while the decision not to add any sugar dosage preserves a dry character, resulting in a sip with fine texture and great precision.
